Layered quantum key distribution [PDF]

Physical Review A, 2018
We introduce a family of QKD protocols for distributing shared random keys within a network of $n$ users. The advantage of these protocols is that any possible key structure needed within the network, including broadcast keys shared among subsets of users, can be implemented by using a particular multi-partite high-dimensional quantum state.

Lightweight Authentication for Quantum Key Distribution [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2020
Quantum key distribution (QKD) enables unconditionally secure communication between distinct parties using a quantum channel and an authentic public channel. Reducing the portion of quantum-generated secret keys, that is consumed during the authentication procedure, is of significant importance for improving the performance of QKD systems.

Practical long-distance quantum key distribution system using decoy levels [PDF]

, 2009
Quantum key distribution (QKD) has the potential for widespread real-world applications, but no secure long-distance experiment has demonstrated the truly practical operation needed to move QKD from the laboratory to the real world due largely to ...

Quantum and Semi–Quantum key Distribution in Networks

International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2023
In this paper, we utilize the potential offered by multidimensional separable states (MSS) for secure and simultaneous distributions of keys in a layered network. We present protocols for both quantum and semi-quantum key distribution and discuss their robustness against various eavesdropping strategies. We provide a procedure to identify the requisite

Analysis of detector performance in a gigahertz clock rate quantum key distribution system [PDF]

, 2011
We present a detailed analysis of a gigahertz clock rate environmentally robust phase-encoded quantum key distribution (QKD) system utilizing several different single-photon detectors, including the first implementation of an experimental resonant cavity

Quantum dense key distribution [PDF]

Physical Review A, 2004
This paper proposes a new protocol for quantum dense key distribution. This protocol embeds the benefits of a quantum dense coding and a quantum key distribution and is able to generate shared secret keys four times more efficiently than BB84 one. We hereinafter prove the security of this scheme against individual eavesdropping attacks, and we present ...
