Quantum qubit commitment is a stronger version of the quantum bit commitment. It is impossible to realize unconditionally secure quantum qubit commitment in nonrelativistic domain. In this paper, we propose an unconditionally secure relativistic quantum qubit commitment protocol for the first time, which will have some unique applications in the upcoming era of quantum network.

As a fundamental cryptographic primitive, bit commitment has lots of important and practical applications in modern cryptography. All previously proposed non-relativistic quantum bit commitment protocols cannot evade the Lo–Chau and Mayers attacks. Furthermore, relativistic quantum bit commitment protocols require rigorous spacetime constraints. In this paper, we present a simple, feasible but practically secure quantum bit commitment protocol without any spacetime constraint. The security of the proposed protocol is based on non-relativistic quantum mechanics, but it can resist all known attacks, including the Lo–Chau and Mayers attacks in practice.

We describe new unconditionally secure bit commitment schemes whose security is based on Minkowski causality and the monogamy of quantum entanglement. We first describe an ideal scheme that is purely deterministic, in the sense that neither party needs to generate any secret randomness at any stage. We also describe a variant that allows the committer to proceed deterministically, requires only local randomness generation from the receiver, and allows the commitment to be verified in the neighborhood of the unveiling point. We show that these schemes still offer near-perfect security in the presence of losses and errors, which can be made perfect if the committer uses an extra single random secret bit. We discuss scenarios where these advantages are significant.

We present an innovative method for quantum two-party cryptography. Our protocol introduces joint measurement and error estimation to improve the security of two-party cryptographic protocols. Our protocol removes the assumption of the attacker’s limited power and catches the attacking actions through highly estimated bit error rate. Our protocol is formally proved to be secure against both eavesdroppers and dishonest communication parties. We also utilize our designed protocol to construct two specific two-party cryptographic applications: Quantum bit commitment and quantum password identification.
