Quantum Digital Signature (QDS) protocols can be separated into two stages: the distribution | Quantum Digital Signature (QDS) protocols can be separated into two stages: the distribution phase, where quantum signals (public keys) are sent to all recipients, and the messaging phase, where classical messages are signed, sent and verified. Here, we take the case of three parties, one sender (referred to as seller) and two receivers (buyer and verifier) sharing a one-bit message. | ||
Distribution phase can be divided into the following steps: | Distribution phase can be divided into the following steps: | ||
*''' Key Distribution:''' Seller generates her (public key, private key) pair and shares the public key with both receivers in this step. For each possible message (0 or 1), she generates two identical sequences/copies (one for each receiver per possible message) of randomly chosen BB84 ∈ {0,1,+,−} states. The sequence of states is called quantum public key and its classical description, private key. She then sends copies of each quantum public key to the receivers while keeping both the private keys secret to herself. At the end of this step, the seller has two private keys, one for each possible message. Similarly, each receiver has two quantum public keys, one for each possible message. | *''' Key Distribution:''' Seller generates her (public key, private key) pair and shares the public key with both receivers in this step.
