- Abstract: Device-independent quantum information is attracting significant attention, particularly for its applications in information security. This interest arises because the security of device-independent protocols relies solely on the observed outcomes of spatially separated measurements and the validity of quantum physics. Sequential scenarios, i.e., where measurements occur in a precise temporal order, have been proved to enhance performance of device-independent protocols in some specific cases by enabling the reuse of the same quantum state. In this work, we propose a systematic approach to designing sequential quantum protocols for device-independent security. Our method begins with a bipartite self-testing qubit protocol and transforms it into a sequential protocol by replacing one measurement with its non-projective counterpart and adding an additional user thereafter. We analytically prove that, with this systematic construction, the resulting ideal correlations are secure in the sense that they cannot be reproduced as a statistical mixture of other correlations, thereby enabling, for example, the generation of maximal device-independent randomness. The general recipe we provide can be exploited for further development of new device-independent quantum schemes for security.
