Abstract

Key agreement is a basic cryptographic primitive, which plays an important role in private communications. In this work, we propose a measurement-device-independent three-party quantum key agreement protocol and then analyze its security, which shows that it can guarantee both the security and fairness for key agreement. Furthermore, this protocol is based on Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states while only Bell state measurements and single-particle state measurements are required, and therefore it is experimentally feasible with current technology. More importantly, this protocol can double the space distance between participants for quantum transmission by placing untrusted relays in the middle compared with conventional protocols.
