The invention discloses a measurement equipment-independent
quantum dialogue method with a bidirectional identity
authentication function, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, mutually authenticating whether two communication parties are legal partners or not, and then carrying out mutual dialogue by directly utilizing a
quantum channel. Two communication parties
Alice and Bob share a group of identity keys through a BB84 protocol, the
Alice and Bob are only responsible for preparing entangled
photon pairs and single photons and executing encoding operation on the photons, and all measurement tasks are handed over to a third-party measurement end Charlie to be completed.
Alice and Bob can mutually verify the identities of the two parties according to the
Bell state analysis result of Charlie, and
bidirectional communication is completed after the two parties are determined to be legal communication parties. According to the invention, the bidirectional identity
authentication technology is applied to the MDI-QD field for the first time, the play
attack of an eavesdropper can be resisted, and the measurement task is completed by a
third party, so that all attacks aiming at imperfect measurement equipment can be resisted effectively, and the security of identity
authentication codes and communication of the two parties is enhanced. The method has very important significance for promoting the practical application of
quantum dialogues.
