Abstract

The analyses of the ping-pong communication paradigm anticipated possibility to undetectably wiretap some variants of quantum direct communication. The only proposed so far instantiation of attacks of this type is formulated for the qubit based version of the protocol and it implicitly assumes the existence of losses. The essential features of undetectable attack transformations are identified in the study and the new generic eavesdropping scheme is proposed. The scheme does not refer to the properties of the vacuum state, so it is fully consistent with the absence of losses assumption. It is formulated for the space of any dimension and it can be used to design the family of circuits that enable undetectable eavesdropping.
