Multi-particle and High-dimension Controlled Order Rearrangement Encryption Protocols

Abstract

Based on the controlled order rearrange encryption (CORE) for quantum key distribution using EPR pairs[Fu.G.Deng and G.L.Long Phys.Rev.A68 (2003) 042315], we propose the generalized controlled order rearrangement encryption (GCORE) protocols of $N$ qubits and $N$ qutrits, concretely display them in the cases using 3-qubit, 2-qutrit maximally entangled basis states. We further indicate that our protocols will become safer with the increase of number of particles and dimensions. Moreover, we carry out the security analysis using quantum covariant cloning machine for the protocol using qutrits. Although the applications of the generalized scheme need to be further studied, the GCORE has many distinct features such as great capacity and high efficiency.
