Abstract: In order to ensure the security of communications, it is often necessary to legally verify the identity of the user before formal communications can take place. Usually, one party provides evidence to prove the identity, and the other party verifies the provided evidence and determines whether the identity is legitimate or not. Given the growing and dramatic interest in quantum computing, it will be necessary to design mutual quantum authentication schemes implemented using quantum resources. In this paper, we design a two-party mutual authentication quantum identity authentication (QIA) protocol based on GHZ-like state quantum resources and chaotic map theory. On the one hand, we ensure the true randomness of the authentication parameters, and on the other hand, we ensure the true randomness with fast propagation, so as to achieve the nature of fast true randomness. The scheme is able to make the authentication process complete the authentication in a shorter time while ensuring security.

Keywords: quantum identity authentication; QIA; GHZ-like state; chaotic system.
