摘要:A quantum public-key cryptosystem without quantum channels between any two users using non-orthogonal states is provided in this paper. Every user keeps a set of quantum particles in non-orthogonal states in a key management center (KMC) as the public key while he or she keeps the states of them as the private key. By the help of KMC users can accomplish secret communication and message authentication. The laws of quantum physics guarantee the unconditional security of this cryptosystem. No entangled states or complex quantum operations are needed. On the other hand there are no quantum channels needed to connecting any two users. So the public-key cryptosystem is easier to carry out and more robust in practice.
