Abstract
Of late security has become a key concern of data transmission mechanism over a communications channel. In an asymmetric cryptographic system, a public key is shared across an insecure medium. This makes the data exchange vulnerable to potential threat from various attackers. This paper proposes the design of a one-way trapdoor function built upon a quantum public key and a classical private key-based encryption–decryption technique of the secret message. The mapping between numbers used in the classical paradigm and their corresponding quantum states is established through the proposed quantum one-way trapdoor function.
