Abstract
To prevent active attack, an one-way quantum identity authentication scheme is proposed by employing mechanism of ping-pong protocol and property of quantum controlled-NOT gate. It can verify the user's identity as well as distribute an updated key as the authentication key. Analytical results show the proposed scheme is secure under general individual attack.
