A Secure Quantum Communication Protocol Using Insecure Public Channels

Unconditionally Secure Quantum Signatures

Signature schemes, proposed in 1976 by Diffie and Hellman, have become ubiquitous across modern communications. They allow for the exchange of messages from one sender to multiple recipients, with the guarantees that messages cannot be forged or tampered with and that messages also can be forwarded from one recipient to another without compromising their validity. Signatures are different from,...

Secure Acceleration of DSS Signatures Using Insecure Server

Small units like chip cards (smart card) have the possibility of computing, storing and protecting data. Today such chip cards have limited computing power and some cryptoprotocols are too slow. Some new chip cards with secure coprocessors are coming but are not very reliable at the moment and a little bit expensive. A possible alternative solution is to use an auxiliary unit in order to help t...

Secure Long-Distance Quantum Communication over Optical Fiber Quantum Channels

In today's communication networks, the widespread use of optical fiber and passive optical elements allows to use quantum key distribution (QKD) in the current standard optical network infrastructure. In the past few years, quantum key distribution schemes have attracted much study. The security of modern cryptographic methods, like asymmetric cryptography, relies heavily on the problem of fact...
