Abstract

The article delves into the evolution of quantum key agreement (QKA) protocols, highlighting the shift from two-party to multi-party systems. It critically examines existing protocols, noting vulnerabilities and inefficiencies, particularly in participant authentication and quantum resource management. The proposed protocol addresses these issues by employing d-level single-particle states and quadratic hash functions, ensuring robust security and fairness. The protocol's circular structure for particle transport and efficient use of quantum resources are key innovations, setting it apart from traditional methods. The article provides a detailed theoretical foundation, a step-by-step protocol description, and a comprehensive security and efficiency analysis, making it a significant contribution to the field of quantum cryptography.
