“…Quantum Secret Sharing Protocols: For the first time, M. Hillery presented out a quantum secret sharing protocol built on the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state that combines secret sharing with quantum technology to accomplish the goal of eavesdropping detection [57]. Its principle is based on quantum entanglement.…”

The growth of modern technological sectors have risen to such a spectacular level that the blessings of technology have spread to every corner of the world, even to remote corners. At present, technological development finds its basis in the theoretical foundation of classical physics in every field of scientific research, such as wireless communication, visible light communication, machine learning, and computing. The performance of the conventional communication systems is becoming almost saturated due to the usage of bits. The usage of quantum bits in communication technology has already surpassed the limits of existing technologies and revealed to us a new path in developing technological sectors. Implementation of quantum technology over existing system infrastructure not only provides better performance but also keeps the system secure and reliable. This technology is very promising for future communication systems. This review article describes the fundamentals of quantum communication, vision, design goals, information processing, and protocols. Besides, quantum communication system model is also proposed here. This research included and explained the prospective applications of quantum technology over existing technological systems, along with the potential challenges of obtaining the goal.INDEX TERMS quantum bridge keeper, quantum computing, quantum communication network, quantum key distribution, qubits.

“…Since semi-quantum cryptography protocol only requires one participant to have the full quantum capability, it simplifies the execution difficulty of the protocols and has been widely applied to various quantum cryptography fields, such as semi-quantum key distribution, [17][18][19] semi-quantum secure direct communication, [20][21][22] semi-quantum private comparison [23][24][25] and semi-quantum secret sharing. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] In 2010, Li et al [26] proposed the first semi-quantum secret sharing (SQSS) protocol using the maximally entangled GHZ states. Two years later, Wang et al [27] considered an SQSS protocol using the two-particle entangled states.…”

Semi-quantum secret sharing (SQSS) is a branch of quantum cryptography which only requires the dealer to have quantum capabilities, reducing the difficulty of protocol implementation. However, the efficiency of the SQSS protocol still needs to be further studied. In this paper, we propose a semi-quantum secret sharing protocol, whose efficiency can approach 100% as the length of message increases. The protocol is based on single particles to reduce the difficulty of resource preparation. Particle reordering, a simple but effective operation, is used in the protocol to improve efficiency and ensure security. Furthermore, our protocol can share specific secrets while most SQSS protocols couldn’t. We also prove the protocol is secure against common attacks.

“…After the proposal, miscellaneous protocols have been applied within a "semi" environment. For example, SQKD protocols [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28], semi-quantum secret sharing protocols [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], semi-quantum secure direct communication [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49], semiquantum key agreement [50][51][52][53], and semi-quantum private comparison [54][55][56][57][58].…”

In 2019, Wen et al. proposed authenticated semi-quantum key distribution (ASQKD) for identity and message using the teleportation of W states and GHZ-like states without pre-shared keys. However, the ASQKD protocol presents a vital issue in the teleportation of W states owing to its inappropriate design. Bob recovers the teleported W states without obtaining the position of the corresponding photons and then returns the recovered photons back to Alice. Hence, the teleportation of W states in Wen et al.’s ASQKD protocol was malfunctioning. Moreover, Wen et al.’s ASQKD protocol requires quantum memory, which strongly disobeys the definition of semi-quantum proposed by Boyer et al. Therefore, in this study, we discover the flaws of Wen et al.’s ASQKD protocol and propose an authenticated semi-quantum key distribution protocol. When compared to Wen et al.’s ASQKD protocol, the proposed ASQKD protocol has the following advantages: legal semi-quantum environment (i.e., does not require quantum memory), reduced quantum hardware requirement (i.e., based only on W states), does not involve classical cryptography (i.e., the hash function), and provided 1.6 times higher qubit efficiency.
