A quantum cryptographic protocol based in public key cryptography combinations and private key cryptography is presented. Unlike the BB84 protocol [1] and its many variants [2,3] two quantum channels are used. The present research does not…

We propose a bit-oriented quantum public-key scheme which uses Boolean function as private-key and randomly changed pairs of quantum state and classical string as public-keys. Contrast to the typical classical public-key scheme, one…

The capacity of the quantum dense key distribution (QDKD) [Phys. Rev. A69, 032310 (2004)] is doubled by introducing the dense coding. The security of the improved QDKD against eavesdropping is pointed out to be easily proven. In both the…

In this paper, we suggest a code-based public key encryption scheme, called McNie. McNie is a hybrid version of the McEliece and Niederreiter cryptosystems and its security is reduced to the hard problem of syndrome decoding. The public key…

Encryption schemes attempt to provide a means for entities to communicate confidentially over a public channel. Such schemes have been studied for centuries, and their use has become widespread. However, developments in the area of quantum…

A secure quantum identification system combining a classical identification procedure and quantum key distribution is proposed. Each identification sequence is always used just once and new sequences are ``refuelled'' from a shared provably…

We cryptanalyse here two variants of the McEliece cryptosystem based on quasi-cyclic codes. Both aim at reducing the key size by restricting the public and secret generator matrices to be in quasi-cyclic form. The first variant considers…

Krouk, Tavernier and Kabatiansky proposed new variants of the McEliece cryptosystem. In this letter, it is shown that cryptosystem based on correction of errors erasures is equal to the Mc-Eliece cryptosystem with worse parametrs public…

We present a quantum digital signature scheme whose security is based on fundamental principles of quantum physics. It allows a sender (Alice) to sign a message in such a way that the signature can be validated by a number of different…

Two variations of the McEliece cryptosystem are presented. The first one is based on a relaxation of the column permutation in the classical McEliece scrambling process. This is done in such a way that the Hamming weight of the error, added…

In this paper we show that it is possible to extend the framework of Persichetti's code-based framework and create a secure KEM based on the McEliece protocol. This provides greater flexibility in the application of coding theory as a basis…

An authenticated encryption scheme allows messages to be encrypted and authenticated simultaneously. In 2003, Ma and Chen proposed such a scheme with public verifiability. That is, in their scheme the receiver can efficiently prove to a…

Code-based cryptography is an interesting alternative to classic number-theory PKC since it is conjectured to be secure against quantum computer attacks. Many families of codes have been proposed for these cryptosystems, one of the main…

Recently, Zou et al. [Phys. Rev. A 82, 042325 (2010)] pointed out that two arbitrated quantum signature (AQS) schemes are not secure, because an arbitrator cannot arbitrate the dispute between two users when a receiver repudiates the…
