Abstract

We demonstrate a novel fingerprint-based quantum authentication scheme with encoded graph states. This scheme is designed to solve the practical problem in knowledge-based quantum authentication systems and could make users get rid of remembering a large of number of passwords. What’s more, it could satisfy the requirement of secure remote communication by using fingerprint-encoded graph states, which would solve the security and privacy problems existing in the traditional fingerprint identification system. Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme could effectively defend various attacks including forgery attack, intercept-resend attack and man-in-the-middle attack. And, this scheme takes advantages of the merits in terms of both fingerprint recognition and quantum authentication, rendering it more secure, convenient and practical for users than its original counterpart, knowledge-based quantum authentication.
