SECURITY USING QUANTUM KEY DISTRIBUTION PROTOCOLS (QKDPs)
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 communication based on quantum mechanics. This work presents quantum key distribution protocols (QKDP) to safeguard security in large networks, ushering in new directions in classical cryptography and quantum cryptography.

Improving security By Quantum Cryptography in P2P Reputation Management in Distributed Identities and Decentralized Recommendation Chains
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are vulnerable to peers who cheat, propagate malicious code, leech on the network, or simply do not cooperate. consider several distributed collaborative key agreement and authentication protocols for dynamic peer groups. There are several important characteristics which make this problem different from traditional secure group communication. Authentication focuses o...
متن کاملDiffie-Hellman type key exchange protocols based on isogenies
In this paper, we propose some Diffie-Hellman type key exchange protocols using isogenies of elliptic curves. The first method which uses the endomorphism ring of an ordinary elliptic curve $ E $, is a straightforward generalization of elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The method uses commutativity of the endomorphism ring $ End(E) $. Then using dual isogenies, we propose...

Digital signatures are widely used in electronic communications to secure important tasks such as financial transactions, software updates, and legal contracts. The signature schemes that are in use today are based on public-key cryptography and derive their security from computational assumptions. However, it is possible to construct unconditionally secure signature protocols. In particular, u...
متن کاملA Necessary Condition for the Security of Coherent- One-Way Quantum Key Distribution Protocol
The coherent-one-way and the differential-phase-shift protocols are two of the most recent practical quantum key distribution protocols for quantum cryptography. These protocols belong to a class of so-called distributed-phase-reference quantum key distribution protocols. While security proofs for some limited attacks exist, the unconditional security proofs this class of protocol remain unreal...
متن کاملDistributing Secret Keys with Quantum Continuous Variables: Principle, Security and Implementations
The ability to distribute secret keys between two parties with information-theoretic security, that is regardless of the capacities of a malevolent eavesdropper, is one of the most celebrated results in the field of quantum information processing and communication. Indeed, quantum key distribution illustrates the power of encoding information on the quantum properties of light and has far-reach...
