Abstract: This study proposes a new mediated asymmetric semi-quantum key distribution (MASQKD) protocol. With the help of a dishonest third party, two classical participants, who have only limited asymmetric quantum capabilities, can share a secret key with each other. The proposed protocol is shown to be immune to several well-known attacks. Furthermore, an improved MASQKD protocol is proposed in which the quantum capabilities of one participant can be further reduced.

We develop hybrid protocols by which QKD and PQC inter-operate within a joint quantum-classical network. In particular, we consider different hybrid designs that may offer enhanced speed and/or security over the individual performance of either approach.

Towards efficient and secure quantum-classical communication networks [47.27205216718476]
There are two primary approaches to achieving quantum-resistant security: quantum key distribution (QKD) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) We introduce the pros and cons of these protocols and explore how they can be combined to achieve a higher level of security and/or improved performance in key distribution. We hope our discussion inspires further research into the design of hybrid cryptographic protocols for quantum-classical communication networks.

Quantum conference key agreement (QCKA) enables the unconditional secure distribution of conference keys among multiple participants. We propose a source-independent QCKA scheme utilizing the post-matching method. We introduce an equivalent distributing virtual multi-photon entanglement protocol for providing the unconditional security proof.

We address the problem of reliable provision of entangled qubits in quantum computing schemes. We combine indirect transmission based on teleportation and distillation; (2) direct transmission, based on quantum error correction (QEC) Our results show that ad-hoc asymmetric codes give, compared to conventional QEC, a performance boost and codeword size reduction both in a single link and in a quantum network scenario.

Conference key agreement in a quantum network [67.410870290301]
Quantum conference key agreement (QCKA) allows multiple users to establish a secure key from a shared multi-partite entangled state. In a quantum network, this protocol can be efficiently implemented using a single copy of a N-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state to distil a secure N-user conference key bit.
