AbstractSo far, unconditional security in key distribution processes has been confined to quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols based on the no-cloning theorem of nonorthogonal bases. Recently, a completely different approach, the unconditionally secured classical key distribution (USCKD), has been proposed for unconditional security in the purely classical regime. Unlike QKD, both classical channels and orthogonal bases are key ingredients in USCKD, where unconditional security is provided by deterministic randomness via path superposition-based reversible unitary transformations in a coupled Mach–Zehnder interferometer. Here, the first experimental demonstration of the USCKD protocol is presented.

A quantum proxy group signature scheme is proposed with χ-type entangled states. Our scheme combines the properties of group signature and proxy signature. Moreover, the particles in the χ-type state sequence are used to distribute proxy warrants and quantum keys in the initial phase, and then used for quantum signature. Therefore it increases the utilization rate of quantum resources compared with the general quantum signature scheme. Finally, the unconditional security of our scheme is also analyzed.
