Quantum key distribution with trusted quantum relay
نویسندگان
چکیده
A trusted quantum relay is introduced to enable quantum key distribution links to form the basic legs in a quantum key distribution network. The idea is based on the well-known intercept/resend eavesdropping. The same scheme can be used to make quantum key distribution between several parties. No entanglement is required.

How Can Quasi-trusted Nodes Help to Securely Relay QKD Keys?
We propose a new definition for quasi-trusted relays. Our quasi-trusted relays are defined as follows: (1) being honest enough to correctly follow a given multi-party finitetime communication protocol; (2) however, being under the monitoring of eavesdroppers. From the new definition, we first develop a simple 3-party quasi-trusted model called Quantum Quasi-Trusted Bridge (QQTB) model. In this ...
متن کاملFree-space quantum network with trusted relay
Nowadays, information security plays an increasingly important role in global communication. Quantum cryptography [1, 2], particularly quantum key distribution (QKD), offers means to expand a secure key between two distant parties, whose security is stemmed from the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics [3–5]. In practice, QKD experiments have been demonstrated over longdistance optical links t...
متن کاملTrusted noise in continuous-variable quantum key distribution
We address the role of the phase-insensitive trusted preparation and detection noise in the security of a continuous-variable quantum key distribution, considering the Gaussian protocols on the basis of coherent and squeezed states and studying them in the conditions of Gaussian lossy and noisy channels. The influence of such a noise on the security of Gaussian quantum cryptography can be cruci...
متن کاملSecurity of trusted repeater quantum key distribution networks
A Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) network is an infrastructure capable of performing long-distance and high-rate secret key agreement with information-theoretic security. In this paper we study security properties of QKD networks based on trusted repeater nodes. Such networks can already be deployed, based on current technology. We present an example of a trusted repeater QKD network, developed ...
متن کاملAn Approach to Secure Authentication Protocol with Group Signature based Quantum Cryptography
This paper proposes a secure authentication protocol in a new direction with group signature based Quantum cryptography for a networked organization. The group signature setting has a group with copious members and one manager. The proposed protocol uses a trusted centre TC generates a large heap of public/private key pairs. Every member of the group has a different list of unique private keys ...
