The idea of semi-quantum communication protocols provides a theoretical solution for the high costs of quantum resources. In this study, we propose an efficient semi-quantum key distribution protocol that allows Alice and quantum-capable restricted Bob to establish a secure key. Then, we demonstrate that the protocol is information-theoretic secure in the asymptotic scenario. As long as the channel noise is less than the noise tolerance of the protocol, Alice and Bob can withdraw a secure key. The proposed protocol has advantages over previous protocols regarding qubit efficiency and communication cost. Besides, our efficiency analysis is more fair and practical because noise factors are taken into account. Based on these features, it may have potential applications in future quantum communications.
