Abstract:

A quantum identity authentication protocol based on the correlation of EPR (Einstein–Padolsky–Rosen) pairs is proposed. It has the property of zero knowledge. our scheme uses the physical characteristics of quantum mechanics to implement identity authentication, so it could guarantee the unconditionally security of the scheme . In addition, our scheme could defeat all kinds of possible quantum attacks.

Key words: quantum optics, quantum identity authentication proof, zero knowledge, EPR entangled photon pairs, quantum measurement
