Turbo codes for quantum key distribution (QKD) applications

open access: yesProceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Applied Sciences in Biomedical and Communication Technologies, 2011
This paper investigates further on Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols based on classical error-correcting codes, previously proposed by the authors. In [1], the classic channel coding techniques were shown to be suitable, in particular conditions, instead of quantum error-correcting codes, for correcting errors that occur during the exchange of a

Practical Considerations on Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)

open access: yes2013 International Conference on Advanced Computer Science Applications and Technologies, 2013
The advancement of the quantum computing is challenging the foundation of the cryptography by its almost unlimited computation power to predict the secure key that is thought to be absolutely secure based on the currently used algorithms such as the RSA and the Diffie-Hellman and others.

Drone-based quantum key distribution: QKD

open access: yesFree-Space Laser Communications XXXIII, 2021
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are used in numerous applications ranging from defense, law enforcement, environmental monitoring, disaster recovery, aerial photography, and delivering consumer packages. Securing wireless communication between drones in-flight is critical to ensure safe operation during flight and avoid multiple types of attacks, e.g.,

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Protocols: A Survey

open access: yes2018 4th International Conference on Wireless and Telematics (ICWT), 2018
The security strength of key distribution of most conventional cryptography is relied on mathematical complexity and the irrational time needed to break the algorithm. But it will be ineffective if the secret key distribution procedure is weak. In 1994 Peter Shor proposed an algorithm that can factorize great integer number efficiently by using ...

Quantum-Key Distribution (QKD) Fundamentals

open access: yes, 2019
This chapter is devoted to QKD fundamentals. The chapter starts with description of key differences between conventional cryptography, classical physical-layer security (PLS), and QKD. In section on QKD basics, after historical overview, we review different QKD types and describe briefly common postprocessing steps, namely, information reconciliation ...

Multicast network security using quantum key distribution (QKD)

open access: yes2012 International Conference on Computer and Communication Engineering (ICCCE), 2012
We reviewed the confidentiality and authentication for multi-party applications. A conceptual model of a secure multicast network has been presented by adding a quantum key distribution (QKD) network to its architecture. The model is divided into three phases, the first phase, QKD network generate secure keys to encrypt not only data but also ...

Fragmentation-Based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) in WDM Networks

open access: yes2019 24th OptoElectronics and Communications Conference (OECC) and 2019 International Conference on Photonics in Switching and Computing (PSC), 2019
To integrate QKD with WDM networks without affecting the provisioning of classical service requests, we propose a wavelength fragmentation assignment scheme for QKD devices, which uses Tabu search to get satisfied secure key rate.
