Cryptanalysis of Controlled Mutual Quantum Entity Authentication Using Entanglement Swapping

By using GHZ-like states and entanglement swapping, Kang et al. [Chin. Phys. B 24(2015) 090306]proposed a controlled mutual quantum entity authentication protocol. We find that the proposed protocol is not secure,that is, the center, Charlie can eavesdrop the secret keys shared between Alice and Bob without being detected.     

Quantum Secure Direct Communication with Mutual Authentication using a Single Basis

In this paper, we propose a new theoretical scheme for quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) with user authentication. Different from the previous QSDC protocols, the present protocol uses only one orthogonal basis of single-qubit states to encode the secret message. Moreover, this is a one-time and one-way communication protocol, which uses qubits prepared in a randomly chosen arbitrary basis, to transmit the secret message. We discuss the security of the proposed protocol against some common attacks and show that no eavesdropper can get any information from the quantum and classical channels. We have also studied the performance of this protocol under realistic device noise. We have executed the protocol in IBMQ Armonk device and proposed a repetition code based protection scheme that requires minimal overhead.

     

Two Semi-Quantum Direct Communication Protocols with Mutual Authentication Based on Bell States

In this paper, we proposed two semi-quantum direct communication protocols based on Bell states. By pre-sharing two secret keys between two communicants, Alice with the advanced quantum ability can transmit secret messages to the classical Bob who can only perform the limited classical operations. At the same time, both sides of the communication can comfirm the legitimacy of each other’s identity. Security and qubit efficency analysis have been given. The analysis results show that the two protocols can resistant to several well-known attacks and their qubit efficency is higher than some current protocols.

     

Quantum Mutual Authentication Key Agreement Scheme Using Five-Qubit Entanglement towards Different Realm Architecture

In this paper, we propose a scheme of quantum operation teleportation (QOT) utilizing local operations and five-qubit entangled state to achieve mutual authentication and key agreement for two clients in different realms. On the one hand, the scheme not only has the characteristics of the arbitrariness of the relevant operation, the certainty of sharing success and the constancy of entangled resources, but also realizes the mutual authentication among the four parties, ensuring the reliability and security of the task. On the other hand, considering the complexity of the operation, we complete the current QOT task as a whole, so the operation difficulty is low and relatively simple. In summary, our analysis is completely feasible under the existing technical conditions and this proposed scheme has practical significance.

     

Magnetic Nanowires toward Authentication

Magnetic nanowires (MNWs) have been shown to be promising candidates for nanobarcoding and biolabeling over decades. However, surprisingly, they have never been realized successfully for these applications due to the lack of a reliable encoding strategy that allows reliable decoding of readout signatures. Here, a novel encoding/decoding approach is reported by tailoring the MNWs remanence spectrum that makes decoding the magnetic nanobarcodes feasible even though there is no prior knowledge regarding the readout remanence spectrum. The remanence spectra of several MNWs is tuned by varying their composition, dimensions, and arrangements to generate several distinct nanobarcodes. Furthermore, a simple automated decoding algorithm is illustrated to identify and verify the type and number of MNWs in unknown remanence spectra. The experimental and analytical approaches show that the remanence spectrum is a strong probe for reliable encoding/decoding because it employs three authentication factors that significantly enhance their security performance in nanobarcoding and biolabeling.     

Mutual preservation of entanglement

We study a generalized double Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model where two entangled pairs of two-level atoms interact indirectly. We show that there exist initial states of the qubit system so that two entangled pairs are available at all times. In particular, the minimum entanglement in the pairs as a function of the initial state is studied. Finally, we extend our findings to a model consisting of multi-mode atom–cavity interactions. We use a non-Markovian quantum state diffusion (QSD) equation to obtain the steady-state density matrix for the qubits. We show that the multi-mode model also displays dynamical preservation of entanglement.

A simpler approach to the characterization of vanishing conditional mutual information is presented. Some remarks are given as well. More specifically, relating the conditional mutual information to a commutator is a very promising approach towards the approximate version of SSA. That is, it is conjectured that small conditional mutual information implies small perturbation of quantum Markov chain.
