* The protocol assumes the account holder and the bank, to be honest. The bank is a trusted party, however, the branches may or may not be trusted. | |||
* This protocol assumes perfect state preparations, transmissions, and measurements. | |||
* The protocol takes the assumption that the Quantum Digital Signature scheme and the Quantum key distribution is unconditionally secure. | |||
* The digital signature scheme must satisfy the following security conditions of unforgeability and non-repudiation | |||

This protocol allows a quantum cheque to be issued using quantum | This protocol allows a quantum cheque to be issued using quantum cheque books to the bank customers. The customers can then carry forward transactions in a perfectly secure manner and these cheques can be en-cashed after being verified by the trusted bank or its branches, which communicate with the main branch securely. The quantum cheque follows all the property of a classical cheque - verifiable by a trusted bank, cannot be disavowed by the issuer and cannot be counterfeited by an adversary. </br> | ||
The entire bank transaction process can be divided into three stages, Gen, where the cheque book is generated for the account holder, Sign, where the account holder prepares a cheque and issues it to the third party and Verify, where the third party en-cashes the cheque depending upon its validity. | The entire bank transaction process can be divided into three stages, Gen, where the cheque book is generated for the account holder, Sign, where the account holder prepares a cheque and issues it to the third party and Verify, where the third party en-cashes the cheque depending upon its validity. | ||

* This protocol can be realized, efficiently, with few qubit systems, without compromising on the security | |||
* Security: This protocol is impossible to counterfeit and non-repudiation by signatory is impossible here. | |||
