Problems solved by technology

[0002] Quantum key distribution has theoretical unconditional security, but due to the actual implementation process, the technical loopholes brought about by the non-ideality of the actual device can be exploited by eavesdroppers, for example, the pulse sent by the quasi-single photon source contains multiple The photon beam splitting attack implemented by the vulnerability of 1 photon, the attack of accurately knowing the intensity and Poisson distribution of the light source of the sender (Alice) and making Alice's light source an untrusted light source, and the false state implemented by using the mismatch of detector efficiency Attacks and time-shift attacks, large pulse attacks that use reflected light from optical devices to analyze the coded information of the source, blinding attacks that use strong light to control detectors, etc., so the actual security of quantum key distribution has become an important research topic at present. content

Abstract

The invention discloses a quantum key distribution system for resisting a blinding attack. The quantum key distribution system comprises a transmitting end and a receiving end, wherein the transmitting end comprises a single photon source for generating photons and an encoding module; the single photon source and the encoding module are successively connected; the receiving end comprises an unequal-arm coupler, a first receiving end and a second receiving end; and the encoded photon information is respectively transmitted to the first receiving end and the second receiving end by the transmitting end through the unequal-arm coupler. According to the quantum key distribution system, the blinding attack is resisted by changing the structure of an optical decoding unit of the receiving end; the blinding attack can be effectively resisted; and meanwhile, the influence on an original communication system is small.
