Continuous variable quantum steganography protocol based on quantum identity

Math Biosci Eng. 2019 May 13;16(5):4182-4195. doi: 10.3934/mbe.2019208.

Abstract

Based on quantum identity authentication, a novel continuous variable quantum steganography protocol is proposed in this paper. It can effectively transmit deterministic secret information in the public quantum channel by taking full advantage of entanglement properties of continuous variable GHZ state. Compared with the existing quantum steganography results, this protocol has the advantages of good imperceptibility and easy implementation. Finally, the detailed performance analysis proves that the proposed protocol has not only these advantages, but also good security and information transmission efficiency, even under eavesdropping attacks, especially to the spectroscopic noise attack.

Keywords: continuous variable GHZ state; quantum steganography; spectroscopic noise attack.
