Verifiable quantum key negotiation method

Abstract

The invention discloses a verifiable quantum key agreement method. Two participants Alice and Bob exist and are interconnected through public quantum and classic channels; participants respectively prepare n groups of EPR particle pairs, and exchange half of the particles through the quantum channels; the participants randomly select m groups of EPR particle pairs to implement Pauli operation through a pre-appointed master key so as to verify the legality of the identity of each participant; each participant implements Bell-based measurement so as to obtain a shared session key; and the participant exchanges half of the particles again, and the correctness of the final session key and the legality of the identity of the participant are confirmed through Bell-based measurement. According tothe invention, the problems that the existing quantum key negotiation lacks a mechanism for verifying the legality of the identity of the participant and the correctness of the agreed key, the existing quantum key distribution lacks fairness and the like can be solved, and the verification efficiency is improved on the premise of ensuring the security.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the application field of modern cryptography, in particular to a verifiable quantum key agreement method. Background technique [0002] Key management is one of the most critical issues in modern cryptography, involving key generation, distribution, storage, application, etc. At present, many security applications on the Internet use public key encryption algorithms to distribute session keys. However, with the introduction of quantum computers and quantum fast algorithms, classical cryptographic algorithms, including symmetric encryption algorithms (such as DES, AES) and public key encryption algorithms (such as RSA, ECC), are facing huge security challenges. [0003] On the other hand, the emergence of quantum cryptography has brought a new dawn to the field of security. Quantum cryptography is the product of the combination of quantum mechanics and modern cryptography. Its security is guaranteed by the basic principles of...
