The first two-party Quantum Key Agreement (QKA) protocol, based on quantum teleportation, was proposed by Zhou et al. (Electron. Lett. 40(18) (2004) 1149). In this protocol, to obtain the key bit string, one of the parties uses a device to obtain the inner product of two quantum states, one being unknown, and the other one performs Bell measurement. However, in this paper, we show that it is not possible to obtain a device that would output the inner product of two qubits even when only one of the qubits is unknown. This is so because the existence of such a device would imply perfectly distinguishing among four different states in a two-dimensional vector space. This is not permissible in quantum mechanics. Furthermore, we argue that the existence of such a device would also imply a violation of the “No Signaling Theorem” as well.

Abstract Quantum key agreement (QKA) is to negotiate a final key among several participants fairly and securely. In this paper, we show that some existing travelling-mode multiparty QKA protocols are vulnerable to internal participant’s attacks. Dishonest participants can exploit a favorable geographical location or collude with other participants to predetermine the final keys without being discovered. To resist such attacks, we propose a new travelling-mode multiparty QKA protocol based on non-orthogonal Bell states. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed protocol is secure against both external and internal attacks, and can achieve higher efficiency compared with existing travelling-mode multiparty QKA protocols. Finally we design an optical platform for each participant, and show that our proposed protocol is feasible with current technologies.
