Quantum key distribution using multilevel encoding: security analysis
We propose an extension of quantum key distribution based on encoding the key into quNits, i.e. quantum states in an N-dimensional Hilbert space. We estimate both the mutual information between the legitimate parties and the eavesdropper, and the error rate, as a function of the dimension of the Hilbert space. We derive the information gained by an eavesdropper using optimal incoherent attacks ...
متن کاملEnhancing Grid Security using Quantum Key Distribution
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a secure key distribution technology, which provides information theoretic or unconditional security. BBN DARPA quantum network and SECOQC network of secrets are the examples of such networks. Research is also in progress for the integration of QKD with the protocols in different layers of OSI model. Integration of QKD in point-to-point protocol (PPP) OSI layer...
متن کاملSECURITY USING QUANTUM KEY DISTRIBUTION PROTOCOLS (QKDPs)
Most cryptographic mechanisms such as symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, often involve the use of cryptographic keys. However, all cryptographic techniques will be ineffective if the key distribution mechanism is weak. Quantum Key Distribution or Quantum Cryptography is attracting much attention as a solution of the problem of Key Distribution; QKD offers unconditionally secure communicatio...
متن کاملSecurity of Quantum Key Distribution
We construct a new quantum key distribution scheme and prove its security against the most general type of attacks and the most general type of noises allowed by quantum physics. The novel technique we use is reduction from a quantum scheme to a classical scheme. We first show that, rather surprisingly, the proof of security of our quantum key distribution in the error-free case can be reduced ...
متن کاملSecurity of quantum key distribution
Der sicheren Übertragung und Aufbewahrung vertraulicher Daten kommt in unserer von Information dominierten Gesellschaft immer grössere Bedeutung zu. Die heute gebräuchlichen Verfahren zur Datenverschlüsselung bieten allerdings nur berschränkte, so-genannt berechenmässige, Sicherheit. Das bedeutet, dass diese prinzipiell von einem Angreifer, der über genügend Rechenleistung (zum Beispiel einen, ...
