Abstract:The information leakage problem often exists in bidirectional quantum secure direct communication or quantum dialogue. In this work, we find that this problem also exists in the one-way quantum secure communication protocol [Chin. Phys. Lett. 32 (2015) 050301]. Specifically, the first bit of every four-bit message block is leaked out without awareness. A way to improve the information leakage problem is given.
