“…While this new style of eavesdropping detection might also be used in other quantum cryptographic protocols, especially in the multi-party ones. For example, in some quantum secret sharing (QSS) protocols, especially the QSS protocols employing collective eavesdropping detection [42][43][44], the message sender can share deterministic messages, instead of the previous random ones, with the agents utilizing the non-random detection style.…”

Eavesdropping detection is an indispensable process of most quantum cryptographic protocols. By publishing and comparing part of the shared bits, called as detection bits, the participants can check whether there exists an eavesdropper. Generally, the detection bits are chosen randomly. Consequently, the secret bits, i.e., the rest bits, are also random. Then, what if the detection bits are chosen non-randomly? Can the participant who chooses the detection bits make the secret bits to be a predetermined string he expected? This paper focuses on the participants' key control capability when they choose the detection bits selectively in two-party quantum communication protocols. Concretely, we analyze the participants' key control capability in different situations of different proportions of the detection bits. And we prove that the participants can predetermine, with high probability, any part of the secret bits of which the length is smaller than that of the detection bits. The above result has various potential applications in quantum cryptographic protocols. Obviously, utilizing this non-random selection of the detection bits, one can realize the function of a deterministic quantum key distribution protocol through a random one if the number of the detection bits is not smaller than that of the secret bits. What is more, we find that quite a few quantum key agreement protocols cannot guarantee the fairness of the key in the sense that the participant who chooses the detection bits can control the key somewhat.Keywords eavesdropping detection, deterministic quantum key distribution, quantum key agreement, quantum information, quantum cryptography CitationLiu B, Gao F, Huang W, et al.

“…Collective noises arises when the environment couples with the qubits without distinguishing between them [6,85]. Obviously, the AQKD protocols proposed in this paper, which utilize the idea of collective detection, will be influenced by the collective noise, such as collective-dephasing noise [19], collectiverotation noise [19], collective-amplitude-damping noise [37], etc. Fortunately, by applying the decoherence-free states [6,19,37,84,85] and the unitary operations given in Ref.…”

We present two authenticated quantum key distribution (AQKD) protocols by utilizing the idea of collective (eavesdropping) detection. One is a two-party AQKD protocol, the other is a multiparty AQKD protocol with star network topology. In these protocols, the classical channels need not be assumed to be authenticated and the single photons are used as the quantum information carriers. To achieve mutual identity authentication and establish a random key in each of the proposed protocols, only one participant should be capable of preparing and measuring single photons, and the main quantum ability that the rest of the participants should have is just performing certain unitary operations. Security analysis shows that these protocols are free from various kinds of attacks, especially the impersonation attack and the man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

“…Since the first QKD protocol was proposed by Bennett and Brassard in 1984, [1] QKD has attracted a great deal of attention because of its attractive property of being unconditionally secure, and a lot of QKD protocols have been presented. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Besides QKD, a variety of quantum cryptography has been proposed, such as quantum secret sharing (QSS), [10][11][12][13] quantum signature (QS), [14][15][16][17] and quantum private queries (QPQ). [18][19][20][21][22][23][24] In the last few years, QPQ has become a subject of intense focus.…”

Chang et al. [Chin. Phys. B 23 010305 (2014)] have proposed a quantum broadcast communication and authentication protocol. However, we find that an intercept-resend attack can be preformed successfully by a potential eavesdropper, who will be able to destroy the authentication function. Afterwards, he or she can acquire the secret transmitted message or even modify it while escaping detection, by implementing an efficient man-in-the-middle attack. Furthermore, we show a simple scheme to defend this attack, that is, applying non-reusable identity strings.
