Twin-field quantum digital signatures
arXiv:2003.11262 · doi:10.1364/OL.426369
Abstract
Digital signature is a key technique in information security, especially for identity authentications. Compared with classical correspondence, quantum digital signatures (QDSs) provide a considerably higher level of security, i.e., information-theoretic security. At present, its performance is limited by key generation protocols (e.g., BB84 or measurement-device-independent protocols), which are fundamentally limited in terms of channel capacity. Fortunately, the recently proposed twin-field quantum key distribution can overcome this limit. This paper presents a twin-field QDS protocol and details a corresponding security analysis. In its distribution stage, a specific key generation protocol, the sending-or-not-sending twin-field protocol, has been adopted and full parameter optimization method has been implemented. Numerical simulation results show that the new protocol exhibits outstanding security and practicality compared with all other existing protocols. Therefore, the new protocol paves the way toward real-world applications of QDSs
