• Abstract: Yu et al. and Li et al. have proposed the measure-resend protocols of authenticated semi-quantum key distribution (ASQKD). A new measure-resend ASQKD protocol is proposed in this paper, which requires a lower burden of quantum resource, needs fewer bits of the pre-shared key, and even provides better qubit efficiency than their protocols. The security proof shows the robustness of the proposed protocol under the collective attack.

  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.
