In a recent Letter [G. Chiribella et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 120501 (2007)], four protocols were proposed to secretly transmit a reference frame. Here We point out that in these protocols an eavesdropper can change the transmitted…

This paper shows that structured transmission schemes are a good choice for secret communication over interference networks with an eavesdropper. Structured transmission is shown to exploit channel asymmetries and thus perform better than…
We show that many known schemes of the public key exchange protocols in the algebraic cryptography, that use two-sided multiplications, are the specific cases of the general scheme of such type. In most cases, such schemes are built on…
