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.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Protocols: A Survey

2018 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 pool construction and key distribution scheme in multi-domain QKD optical networks (QKD-ON)

4th Optics Young Scientist Summit (OYSS 2020), 2021
In this paper, we propose a multi-domain quantum key pool (QKP) capacity adaptive supplement scheme based on balance between key resource and routing hop in multi-domain QKD-ON, and we conduct the simulation and evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of service blocking probability and utilization of key resource.

Cost-Efficient Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Over WDM Networks

Journal of Optical Communications and Networking, 2019
Quantum key distribution (QKD) uses the laws of quantum mechanics to distribute secret keys with information-theoretic security. To realize QKD for secure communications among multiple distant users, fiber-based QKD networks can be deployed with today's available technologies.

A Survey of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Technologies

open access: yes, 2014
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a revolutionary security technology that exploits the laws of quantum mechanics to achieve information-theoretic secure key exchange. QKD enables two parties to “grow” a shared secret key without placing any limits on an

Drone-based quantum key distribution: QKD

Free-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.,

Turbo codes for quantum key distribution (QKD) applications

Proceedings 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

Field demonstration of quantum key distribution in the Tokyo QKD Network

2011 International Quantum Electronics Conference (IQEC) and Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) Pacific Rim incorporating the Australasian Conference on Optics, Lasers and Spectroscopy and the Australian Conference on Optical Fibre Technology, 2011
A secure communication network with novel quantum key distribution systems in a metropolitan area (very center of Tokyo) is reported. Different QKD schemes are integrated to demonstrate key relay for secure TV conferencing over a distance 45 km, stable long-term operation.

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

2019 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.
