Abstract
Message authentication is a cryptographic task that allows the receiver to reject a message that is forged or has been tampered with. A protocol to authenticate quantum messages was proposed by Barnum, Crépeau, Gottesman, Tapp, and Smith [1] and stand-alone security was proved. Here, we are concerned with universal composable security (which requires a protocol to be essentially indistinguishable from the ideal functionality and ensures overall security when the protocol is part of any larger scheme). We show that the protocol in [1] is universal composably secure, and that most of the required key can be reused with universal composable security.
