Attacks on Fixed Apparatus Quantum Key Distribution Schemes
We consider quantum key distribution implementations in which the receiver’s apparatus is fixed and does not depend on his choice of basis at each qubit transmission. We show that, although theoretical quantum key distribution is proven secure, such implementations are totally insecure against a strong eavesdropper that has one-time (single) access to the receiver’s equipment. The attack we pre...
متن کاملRestricted attacks on semi-quantum key distribution protocols
In this paper, we investigate single state, semi-quantum key distribution protocols. These are protocols whereby one party is limited to measuring only in the computational basis, while the other, though capable of measuring in both computational and Hadamard bases, is limited to preparing and sending only a single, publicly known qubit state. Such protocols rely necessarily on a two-way quantu...
متن کاملTrojan-horse attacks on quantum-key-distribution systems
General Trojan-horse attacks on quantum-key-distribution systems, i.e., attacks on Alice or Bob’s system via the quantum channel, are analyzed. We illustrate the power of such attacks with today’s technology and conclude that all systems must implement active counter measures. In particular, all systems must include an auxiliary detector that monitors any incoming light. We show that such count...
متن کاملA note on quantum related-key attacks
In a basic related-key attack against a block cipher, the adversary has access to encryptions under keys that differ from the target key by bit-flips. In this short note we show that for a quantum adversary such attacks are quite powerful: if the secret key is (i) uniquely determined by a small number of plaintextciphertext pairs, (ii) the block cipher can be evaluated efficiently, and (iii) a ...
متن کاملA Simple Approach to Error Reconciliation in Quantum Key Distribution
We discuss the error reconciliation phase in quantum key distribution (QKD) and analyse a simple scheme in which blocks with bad parity (that is, blocks containing an odd number of errors) are discarded. We predict the performance of this scheme and show, using a simulation, that the prediction is accurate. ∗Presented at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society, Adelaide, ...
