Problems solved by technology

However, there are generally two problems in multi-user QKD networks: First, each point-to-point QKD system requires a transmitter, a receiver, and a quantum channel, while a QKD network with N users usually requires N(N-1) / 2 point-to-point QKD system, which consumes a lot of resources
Second, although many attacks on practical QKD systems can be detected and prevented, there is an attack method that is difficult to combat - denial of service (DOS) attack, the adversary can directly cut off the quantum channel or cause qubit errors exceeding the threshold Thus making the QKD protocol impossible

Embodiment Construction

[0040] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0041] 1. QKD network based on Blom scheme

[0042] The Blom key distribution scheme is an unconditionally secure key distribution system based on MDS in classical cryptography. Suppose there are N users in the system, as long as less than k users jointly attack the system, the system is unconditionally secure. Choose a prime number q that satisfies q>N. G is a k×N matrix on the finite field GF(q), any k columns of the matrix G are linearly independent, and the matrix G is public. The trusted center generates a k×k matrix D on the finite field GF(q), and then calculates P≡(DG) ⊥ And securely distribute the i-th row of the matrix P to the user U i . The key matrix K≡PG is an N×N symmetric matrix that satisfies K ij = K ji . For any two use...

Abstract

The invention relates to a quantum key distribution (QKD) method and a quantum key distribution network system. The quantum key distribution method comprises steps that a center end used for quantumcommunication with various user ends is established, and the center end and the various user end adopt a key distribution scheme based on a Blom scheme and the QKD. One center end or a plurality of center ends can be provided. A quantum channel can be established between each pair of center ends, and a QKD protocol is executed between the center ends to combat DoS attacks; furthermore, a block design is adopted to form a quantum key distribution network. When the key distribution network is attacked by quantum rejection service, corresponding key distribution schemes can be provided by aiming at damages caused by different DoS attacks. The costs of the quantum key distribution can be reduced, and the safety and the expandability of the quantum key distribution can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of quantum communication, and in particular relates to a quantum key distribution method and a quantum key distribution network system. Background technique [0002] So far, the research and implementation of quantum key distribution (Quantum Key Distribution, QKD) network is mainly based on point-to-point QKD system. However, there are generally two problems in multi-user QKD networks: First, each point-to-point QKD system requires a transmitter, a receiver, and a quantum channel, while a QKD network with N users usually requires N(N-1) / 2 point-to-point QKD system, which consumes a lot of resources. Second, although many attacks on practical QKD systems can be detected and prevented, there is an attack method that is difficult to combat - denial of service (DOS) attack, the adversary can directly cut off the quantum channel or cause qubit errors exceeding the threshold Thus making the QKD agreement imposs...
