“…We will provide a detailed description of the QKA protocols for immunity to two types of collective noises. Before initiating each protocol, participants are required to authenticate each other to prevent impersonation by the eavesdropper Eve [20][21][22][23][24][25]. Therefore, our protocol is divided into two stages.…”

“…All parties in the AQKA protocol can guarantee that the person communicating with them is the person they claim, thus ensuring the security of the information in the communication, making the designed protocol more in line with the actual needs. In 2021, Zhu et al [20] and Ma et al [21] proposed the mutual authentication quantum key agreement(MAQKA) scheme respectively. [20] is a mutually authenticated semi-honest key agreement scheme based on the GHZ class state.…”

Quantum key agreement (QKA) is an important branch of quantum cryptography. Particles are easily affected by noise in quantum channel transmission, which provides a cover for eavesdropper Eve to attack maliciously and eventually leads to the failure of protocol. In this paper, based on the properties of four-particle cluster states and their entanglement swapping, two authenticated two-party QKA protocols that can resist collective noise (collective-dephasing noise and collective-rotation noise) by using CZ, CNOT, and Pauli operations are designed, respectively. Besides, both parties can authenticate each other’s identities, which makes our protocol more secure. In addition, security analysis shows that these two protocols can resist various attacks from inside and outside, such as participant attacks and entangle-measure attacks.
