Abstract
By utilizing Bell states and GHZ states, two quantum deterministic key distribution (QDKD) protocols are presented to hand over the previously deterministic key to the intended receiver. The proposed QDKD protocols have two-way authentications, and then the eavesdropping and impersonation can be detected easily. The deterministic key itself is not transmitted over the channel and the receiver Bob infers his key in an indirect manner with the relationship between Alice’s messages and his own measurement results, which guarantees the security of the deterministic key. Different from the quantum key distribution protocols yielding random keys, the proposed QDKD protocols can distribute the pre-deterministic keys securely, which are of great significance in the filed of key management.
