Comment on "Quantum identification schemes with entanglements"

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In a recent paper, [Phys. Rev. A 65, 052326 (2002)], Mihara presented several cryptographic protocols that were claimed to be quantum mechanical in nature. In this comment it is pointed out that these protocols can be described in purely classical terms. Hence, the security of these schemes does not rely on the usage of entanglement or any other quantum mechanical property.
