Direct and reverse secret-key capacities of a quantum channel.
We define the direct and reverse secret-key capacities of a memoryless quantum channel as the optimal rates that entanglement-based quantum-key-distribution protocols can reach by using a single forward classical communication (direct reconciliation) or a single feedback classical communication (reverse reconciliation). In particular, the reverse secret-key capacity can be positive for antidegr...
متن کاملDirect Use of Secret Key in Quantum Cryptography
For single-photon quantum key generation between two users, it is shown that for collective attacks the use of a shared secret key extended via a pseudo-random number generator may simultaneously enhance the security and efficiency of the cryptosystem. This effect arises from the intrinsic performance difference between quantum detectors with versus without knowledge of the key, a purely quantu...
متن کاملEntanglement and secret-key-agreement capacities of bipartite quantum interactions and read-only memory devices
A bipartite quantum interaction corresponds to the most general quantum interaction that can occur between two quantum systems. In this work, we determine bounds on the capacities of bipartite interactions for entanglement generation and secret key agreement. Our upper bound on the entanglement generation capacity of a bipartite quantum interaction is given by a quantity that we introduce here,...
متن کاملCommon Randomness and Secret Key Capacities of Two-Way Channels
Common Randomness Generation (CRG) and Secret Key Establishment (SKE) are fundamental primitives that are used in information-theoretic coding and cryptography. We study these two problems over the two-way channel model of communication, introduced by Shannon. In this model, the common randomness (CK) capacity is defined as the maximum number of random bits per channel use that the two parties ...
متن کاملA Survey on Quantum Channel Capacities
Quantum information processing exploits the quantum nature of information. It offers fundamentally new solutions in the field of computer science and extends the possibilities to a level that cannot be imagined in classical communication systems. For quantum communication channels, many new capacity definitions were developed in comparison to classical counterparts. A quantum channel can be use...
