# <math>\mathcal{S}</math> takes as input an <math>m</math>-qubit message system <math>M</math> and a key <math>k\epsilon K</math> and outputs a transmitted system <math>T</math> of <math>m + t</math> qubits.
# <math>\mathcal{S}</math> takes as input an <math>m</math>-qubit message system <math>M</math> and a key <math>k\epsilon K</math> and outputs a transmitted system <math>T</math> of <math>m + t</math> qubits.
# B takes as input the (possibly altered) transmitted system <math>T</math>' and a classical key <math>k\epsilon K</math> and outputs two systems: a <math>m</math>-qubit message state <math>M</math>, and a single qubit <math>V</math> which indicates acceptance or rejection. The classical basis states of <math>V</math> are called <math>|ACC\rangle, |REJ\rangle</math> by convention. For any fixed key <math>k</math>, we denote the corresponding super-operators by <math>S_k</math> and <math>A_k</math>.
