Abstract

 

     We prove a regularized formula for the secret key-assisted capacity region of a quantum channel for transmitting private classical information. This result parallels the work of Devetak on entanglement-assisted quantum communication capacity [1]. This formula provides a new family protocol, the private father protocol, under the resource inequality framework that includes private classical communication without secret key assistance as a child protocol.
