Easily Implemented Rate Compatible Reconciliation Protocol for Quantum Key Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reconciliation is an important step to correct errors in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). In QKD, after comparing basis, two legitimate parties possess two correlative keys which have some differences and they could obtain identical keys through reconciliation. In this paper, we present a new rate compatible reconciliation scheme based on Row Combining with Edge Variation (RCEV) Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes which could change code rate adaptively in noisy channel where error rate may change with time. Our scheme is easy to implement and could get good efficiency compared to existing schemes. Meanwhile, due to the inherent structure we use, the new scheme not only saves memory space remarkably but also simplifies the decoder architecture and accelerates the decoding.

Continuous-Variables Quantum Key Distribution over Standard Telecom Fiber
In this report, a Gaussian-modulated coherent state quantum key distribution (GMCS QKD) system implemented in telecom wavelength is investigated. This is the first experimental demonstration of one-way GMCS QKD over kilometers of standard telecom fiber. We achieved system performance that would result in a secrete key rate of > 10kb/s of a reverse reconciliation protocol under realistic assumpt...
متن کاملAnalysis of a rate-adaptive reconciliation protocol and the effect of leakage on the secret key rate
Quantum key distribution performs the trick of growing a secret key in two distant places connected by a quantum channel. The main reason is so that the legitimate users can bound the information gathered by the eavesdropper. In practical systems, whether because of finite resources or external conditions, the quantum channel is subject to fluctuations. A rate-adaptive information reconciliatio...

متن کاملEfficient Reconciliation with Rate Adaptive Codes in Quantum Key Distribution
Quantum key distribution (QKD) relies on quantum and classical procedures in order to achieve the growing of a secret random string —the key— known only to the two parties executing the protocol. Limited intrinsic efficiency of the protocol, imperfect devices and eavesdropping produce errors and information leakage from which the set of measured signals —the raw key— must be stripped in order t...
متن کاملSimple rate-adaptive LDPC coding for quantum key distribution
Although quantum key distribution (QKD) comes from the development of quantum theory, the implementation of a practical QKD system does involve a lot of classical process, such as key reconciliation and privacy amplification, which is called post-processing. Post-processing has been a crucial element to high speed QKD systems, even the bottleneck of it because of its relatively high time consum...
