• Abstract: Digital signature is a key technique in information security, especially for identity authentications. Compared with classical correspondence, quantum digital signatures (QDSs) provide a considerably higher level of security, i.e., information-theoretic security. At present, its performance is limited by key generation protocols (e.g., BB84 or measurement-device-independent protocols), which are fundamentally limited in terms of channel capacity. Fortunately, the recently proposed twin-field quantum key distribution can overcome this limit. This paper presents a twin-field QDS protocol and details a corresponding security analysis. In its distribution stage, a specific key generation protocol, the sending-or-not-sending twin-field protocol, has been adopted and full parameter optimization method has been implemented. Numerical simulation results show that the new protocol exhibits outstanding security and practicality compared with all other existing protocols. Therefore, the new protocol paves the way toward real-world applications of QDSs

  Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) uses the quantum channel to transmit information reliably and securely. In order to eliminate the security loopholes resulting from practical detectors, the measurement-device-independent (MDI) QSDC protocol has been proposed. We propose a single-photon-memory MDI QSDC protocol (SPMQC) for dispensing with high-performance quantum memory.

  Quantum digital signatures (QDS) exploit quantum laws to guarantee non-repudiation, unforgeability and transferability of messages. Current QDS protocols face two major restrictions, including the requirement of the symmetrization step. We present an efficient QDS protocol to overcome these issues by utilizing the classical post-processing operation called post-matching method.

• Round-robin differential phase-time-shifting protocol for quantum key distribution: theory and experiment [58.03659958248968]
  Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows the establishment of common cryptographic keys among distant parties. Recently, a QKD protocol that circumvents the need for monitoring signal disturbance, has been proposed and demonstrated in initial experiments. We derive the security proofs of the round-robin differential phase-time-shifting protocol in the collective attack scenario. Our results show that the RRDPTS protocol can achieve higher secret key rate in comparison with the RRDPS, in the condition of high quantum bit error rate.

  We propose two identification protocols based on the emerging hardware secure solutions, the quantum Physical Unclonable Functions (qPUFs) The first protocol allows a low-resource party to prove its identity to a high-resource party and in the second protocol, it is vice-versa. Unlike existing identification protocols based on Quantum Read-out PUFs which rely on the security against a specific family of attacks, our protocols provide provable exponential security against any Quantum Polynomial-Time adversary with resource-efficient parties.
