... Based on thorough comparisons and performance-and security-focused findings, it can be concluded that the suggested MFA approach protects user credentials from unauthorized parties and is resistant to threats that have [50] Chen and Chen [51] Sudhakar et al.

... The proposed protocol adopts this definition. In the same year, Liu et al. [37] followed this definition to design a three-party lightweight QKD protocol. Notably, the current research on lightweight semi-quantum or lightweight quantum environment concepts proposed by Hwang et al. predominantly focus on three-party systems [23,25,27,[36][37][38]. ...

... Subsequent semi-quantum research based on these unitary operations introduced the concept of lightweight semi-quantum [33][34][35], further reducing the quantum capabilities required by classical users. In 2023, Hwang et al. [36] defined the environmental settings for lightweight quantum protocols, indicating that lightweight quantum operations include: (1) reflecting photons without disturbance, (2) performing unitary operations on single photons, (3) measuring photons in a Z-basis, and (4) preparing photons in a Z-basis. In lightweight quantum protocols, at least one user can use only two of these four lightweight quantum operations. ...

... : The adversary sends an oracle. Because the proposed protocol does not have a collision of the hash function (as shown in Section III-C) [45], the relationship, according to the birthday paradox, is as follows. ...

... The revocation algorithm employs ABE to encrypt and decrypt parameters related to revocation, ensuring both forward and backward secrecy [22]. The algorithm mentioned earlier utilizes the "Action_list" to carry out either partial or complete revocation. ...

... In 2023, Shi [32] proposed an SQD that utilizes the properties of hyperentangled Bell states to communicate. Also, in 2023, Shi [33] found that the scheme in [31] could not resist the double CNOT attack [5,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] and proposed a corresponding improvement method to effectively improve the security of the original protocol. ...

... The environment for SQKD protocols, based on the capabilities of classical users, can be divided into three types: measure-resend [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28], randomization-based [17,18,21,24], and measurement-free [29]. That is, the classical users possess the capabilities (1), (2), and (4); (1), (3), and (4); and (2), (3), and (4) for the measure-resend, randomization-based, and measurement-free environments, respectively. ...

... Bidirectional controlled quantum teleportation may be employed to transport quantum states in a quantum network. Communication in quantum network, indispensably, necessitates the diverse kind of exchange of quantum Page 3 of 14 118 states possessed by parties such as asymmetric bidirectional quantum teleportation [30][31][32] cyclic quantum teleportation [33,34], cyclic controlled quantum teleportation [35][36][37], multidirectional quantum teleportation in DV-regime [38,39]. ...

... TP is generally assumed to be semi-honest; that is, she may be curious about the 'classical' users' private data and may attempt to eavesdrop, but she will not collude with any 'classical' user. In recent years, SQPC has gradually gained attention from researchers and many works have been proposed [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. ...
