Based on strong designated verifiers signatures,a new fair concurrent signature scheme is proposed. Compared with the previous concurrent signature schemes,even if a keystone must be chosen by the initial signer,the matching signer will easily get the keystone through an extraction algorithm. Due to the property of strong designate verifying,the initial signer couldn＇t make use of the keystone prepared carefully to deceive the matching signer. Then the matching signer is able to participate actively the signature scheme. Besides,there aren＇t bilinear operations in the keystone algorithm to deliver the keystone efficiently. Therefore the efficiency of our signature scheme is also improved.

The security, efficiency, transmission distance and error rate are important parameters of a quantum key distribution scheme. In this article, the former two parameters are focused on. To reach high efficiency, an unsymmetrical quantum key distribution scheme that employs Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger （GHZ） triplet states and dense coding mechanism is proposed, in which a GHZ triplet state can be used to share two bits of classical information. The proposed scheme can be employed in a noisy or lossy quantum channel. In addition, a general approach to security analysis against general individual attacks is presented.
