Abstract
En 中文
Semi-quantum key distribution protocols enable two parties to establish a secret and secure key using a bidirectional quantum channel, providing Eve with a larger attack strategy space. In this paper we study the optimal eavesdropping strategy with three-dimensional systems, when eavesdropping occurs in both directions of the communication channel. We show that the bidirectional interception strategy allows the eavesdropper to extract a greater amount of information compared to the unidirectional interception strategy.
