Controlled quantum secure direct communication using a non-symmetric quantum channel with quantum superdense coding

We present a controlled quantum secure direct communication protocol that uses a 2-dimensional Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) entangled state and a 3-dimensional Bell-basis state and employs the high-dimensional quantum superdense coding, local collective unitary operations and entanglement swapping. The proposed protocol is secure and of high source capacity. It can effectively protect the communication against a destroying-travel-qubit-type attack. With this protocol, the information transmission is greatly increased. This protocol can also be modified, so that it can be used in a multi-party control system.
