Attacking the Quantum Internet

The main service provided by the coming Quantum Internet will be creating entanglement between any two quantum nodes. We discuss and classify attacks on repeaters, which serve roles similar to those of classical routers. have modeled components for structure repeater network With this model, we point out attack vectors, then analyze in terms confidentiality, integrity availability. While are reassured about promises networks from confidentiality view, availability present new vulnerabilities not require care handle properly. observe that requirements computing/networking elements affect systems' overall security risks. This component-based analysis establishes a framework further investigation network-wide vulnerabilities.
