Quantum key distribution method and system with bidirectional identity authentication function

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of network information and discloses a quantum key distribution method and system with a bidirectional identity authentication function. A communication participant uses a binary character string representing the user identity to carry out preparation of a Bell state; encoding and particle exchange are carried out according to a same convention; Bell-based measurement is finished so as to achieve entanglement exchange of the Bell-state particles; after a bitwise XOR operation is carried out, a Pauli gate operation is carried out on any side of bothsides of communication so that the particles in the hand are converted into the Bell-state particles the same as the particles on the opposite side; and both the sides of communication can obtain a same binary character string so as to finish the distribution of secret keys. The quantum key distribution method and system with a bidirectional identity authentication function in the invention improve the use ratio of resources produced during authentication of both the sides of communication; according to the agreement announced by both the sides of communication can identity authentication andkey distribution be realized without the intervention of a third side; the required quantum state is the Bell state of two particles; and the preparation is relatively easy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of network information, and in particular relates to a quantum key distribution method and system with a bidirectional identity authentication function. Background technique [0002] At present, the existing technologies commonly used in the industry are as follows: [0003] Since the first quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol was proposed, quantum cryptography has been greatly developed in recent years. Compared with classical cryptography, quantum cryptography combines classical cryptography and quantum mechanics, and uses quantum effects to realize unconditionally secure information exchange. In order to meet the needs of the society for various practical security, researchers have proposed a large number of quantum cryptography protocols, mainly including quantum key distribution protocol (QKD), quantum direct secure communication (QSDC), quantum secret sharing (QSS), and quantum digital signature. ...
