• Abstract summary: This paper introduces an improved version of a recently proposed scheme whose information theoretic security is inherited by adopting QKD keys for digital signature purposes. Its security against forging is computed considering a trial-and-error approach taken by the malicious forger and GQaDS parameters are optimized via an analytical approach balancing between forgery and repudiation probabilities.

• Abstract: This paper introduces Generalized Quantum-assisted Digital Signature (GQaDS), an improved version of a recently proposed scheme whose information theoretic security is inherited by adopting QKD keys for digital signature purposes. Its security against forging is computed considering a trial-and-error approach taken by the malicious forger and GQaDS parameters are optimized via an analytical approach balancing between forgery and repudiation probabilities. The hash functions of the previous implementation are replaced with Carter-Wegman Message Authentication Codes (MACs), strengthening the scheme security and reducing the signature length. For particular scenarios where the second verifier has a safe reputation, a simplified version of GQaDS, namely deterministic GQaDS, can further reduce the required signature length, keeping the desired security strength.

  Quantum digital signatures (QDS) guarantee authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation of classical messages based on quantum laws. We introduce a CV QDS protocol designed to withstand general coherent attacks through the use of a cutting-edge fidelity test function. Results demonstrate a significant reduction of over 6 orders of magnitude in signature length for a megabit message signing task.

  Quantum digital signature is used to authenticate the identity of the signer with theoretical security. In traditional multi-receiver quantum digital signature schemes without an arbitrater, the transferability of one-to-one signature is always required to achieve unforgeability. We propose an arbitrated quantum digital signature scheme, in which the signature can be verified by multiple receivers simultaneously.

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.

  Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (QKD) employs the quadratures of a bosonic mode to establish a secret key between two remote parties. We consider a protocol with homodyne detection in the general setting of composable finite-size security. In particular, we analyze the high signal-to-noise regime which requires the use of high-rate (non-binary) low-density parity check codes.
