Security analysis of quantum key distribution on passive optical networks.
Needs for providing security to end users have brought installation of quantum key distribution (QKD) in one-to-many access networks such as passive optical networks. In the networks, a presence of optical power splitters makes issues for secure key rate more important. However, researches for QKD in access networks have mainly focused on implementation issues rather than protocol development f...
متن کاملSecurity of Quantum Key Distribution
We construct a new quantum key distribution scheme and prove its security against the most general type of attacks and the most general type of noises allowed by quantum physics. The novel technique we use is reduction from a quantum scheme to a classical scheme. We first show that, rather surprisingly, the proof of security of our quantum key distribution in the error-free case can be reduced ...
متن کاملSecurity of quantum key distribution
Der sicheren Übertragung und Aufbewahrung vertraulicher Daten kommt in unserer von Information dominierten Gesellschaft immer grössere Bedeutung zu. Die heute gebräuchlichen Verfahren zur Datenverschlüsselung bieten allerdings nur berschränkte, so-genannt berechenmässige, Sicherheit. Das bedeutet, dass diese prinzipiell von einem Angreifer, der über genügend Rechenleistung (zum Beispiel einen, ...
متن کاملSecurity analysis of an untrusted source for quantum key distribution: passive approach
We present a passive approach to the security analysis of quantum key distribution (QKD) with an untrusted source. A complete proof of its unconditional security is also presented. This scheme has significant advantages in real-life implementations as it does not require fast optical switching or a quantum random number generator. The essential idea is to use a beam splitter to split each input...
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 ...
