Abstract
Identity authentication is an important method to ensure the security of information, even for quantum information. A bi-directional quantum identity authentication protocol using a two-mode squeezed state as an entanglement resource is proposed. The decoy states’ sequences are used to enhance the security of the mutual communication process between the legitimate users. The security of the protocol under a Gaussian-cloner attack is investigated in detail with the secret information rate as the major parameters. The results show that the proposed scheme is physically secure and is able to detect possible eavesdroppers.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
