Abstract
The proposed protocols of quantum secure direct communication based on single photons up-to-date are almost two-way communication protocols, in which the probability of Trojan horse attack reduces the security of the communication. The aim of photons transferred forward and backward is to let the receiver know the code bases and the initial states of the photons. One-way quantum secure direct communication protocol based on single photons is proposed, in which the XOR operation by bits of the information sequence and random sequence is taken before coding. Then the code bases and the random sequence can be published if the quantum channel is secure, so the receiver can measure in the correct basis to get the information; even there exists eavesdropper, the information sequence is still secure. This protocol has the advantages of higher security, longer communication distance compared with two-way scheme and easier implementation than others.
