Quantum Key Agreement Protocol

Based on four-particle entangled states and the delayed measurement technique, a two-party quantum key agreement protocol is proposed in this paper. In the protocol, two participants can deduce the measurement results of each other’s initial quantum states in terms of the measurement correlation property of four-particle entangled states. According to the corresponding initial quantum states deduced by themselves, two parties can extract the secret keys of each other by using the publicly announced value or by performing the delayed measurement, respectively. This guarantees the fair establishment of a shared key. Since each particle in quantum channel is transmitted only once, the protocol is congenitally free from the Trojan horse attacks. The security analysis shows that the protocol not only can resist against both participant and outsider attacks but also has no information leakage problem. Moreover, it has high qubit efficiency.

Qubit Efficiency

A two-party quantum key agreement protocol is proposed with five-particle entangled states and the delayed measurement technique. According to the measurement correlation property of five-particle entangled states, two participants can deduce the measurement results of each other’s initial quantum states. As a result, two parties can extract the secret keys of each other by using the publicly announced value or by performing the delayed measurement, respectively. Thus, a shared key is fairly established. Since each particle is transmitted only once in quantum channel, the protocol is congenitally free from the Trojan horse attacks. It is shown that the protocol not only is secure against both participant and outsider attacks but also has no information leakage problem. Moreover, it has high qubit efficiency.

Quantum Key Agreement Protocol

Based on the technique of quantum teleportation, a new multi-party quantum key agreement protocol is proposed. In this protocol, all users first share EPR pairs via public quantum channels. Afterwards, the states of signal particles can be transferred between two adjacent users by quantum teleportation. With the help of four unitary encoding operations, all users can encode their separate secret key into the traveling quantum states. In the end, all users can derive the final shared key synchronously. The security analysis shows that the presented protocol is secure against some common attacks and completely loss tolerant.

Cnot Operation

Based on four-particle GHZ states, the double CNOT operation and the delayed measurement technique, a two-party quantum key agreement (QKA) protocols is proposed. The double CNOT operation makes each four-particle GHZ state collapse into two independent quantum states without any entanglement. Furthermore, one party can directly know the two quantum states and the other party can be aware of the two quantum states by using the corresponding measurement. According to the initial states of the two quantum states, two parties can extract the secret keys of each other by using the publicly announced value or by performing the delayed measurement, respectively. Then the protocol achieves the fair establishment of a shared key. The security analysis shows that the new protocol can resist against participant attacks, the Trojan horse attacks and other outsider attacks. Furthermore, the new protocol also has no information leakage problem and has high qubit efficiency.

Transmission Ability

In this paper, we propose a high-dimensional quantum key agreement protocol where the key is encoded by pairs of single qudits which are chosen from d-level mutually unbiased bases. A security analysis is also given to show it is secure against most of the existing attacks. This protocol is useful in practice and has a higher information transmission ability because it uses high-dimensional quantum information carries.

The Ideal

We propose a new two-party quantum key agreement (QKA) protocol using five-qubit Brown states. One-way quantum transmission can be realized by merging Brown states and decoy photons randomly. The security of this protocol is shown to resist the outsider attack and participant attack over the ideal channel. Some methods are also proposed to ensure its security in noisy and lossy quantum channel. Finally, we generalize it and propose a multi-party QKA protocol based on Brown states.
