[0041] The application will be further illustrated in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] The embodiment provides a quantum key dynamic management method for a power wireless communication network. The whole process of dynamic adjustment of quantum key parameters is as shown in FIG. 1, and the specific steps are as follows: Figure 1

[0044] Step S1: Service security level division

[0045] ​Different services transmitted by stations in the power service system are divided into three security levels, high, medium and low, according to the importance, and initial quantum key parameters of each priority service are preset, including update period and window size , wherein is the number of quantum keys that can be recycled by the power wireless node within a certain period.

[0046] The power wireless node is a terminal device deployed in a power communication network, including an encryption end power wireless node and a decryption end power wireless node. The quantum key is a set of true random key sequences generated by a quantum key distribution device based on quantum physical principles. In this embodiment, the BB84 protocol is used to generate quantum keys, and the key source is provided to the dynamic management controller through a quantum channel.

[0047] In this embodiment, the initial quantum key parameters corresponding to different security levels are as follows:

[0048] High security level:

[0049] Medium security level:

[0050] Low security level:

[0051] Step S2: Load initial parameters

[0052] The power service system receives the power service data packet, parses the service type, and queries the initial quantum key parameters according to the security level of the service 、 . According to the initial quantum key parameters, the applied quantum key is filled into the local current quantum key window, and a serial number is added to the quantum key filled into the local current quantum key window, and the local quantum key index pointer is initialized. The encryption end power wireless node determines the encryption quantum key according to the quantum key serial number and the local quantum key index pointer.

[0053] Step S3: Real-time monitoring

[0054] The error rate of the encryption channel is collected through the communication quality probe , the throughput of the security level of the service data packet within a certain time , and the on-off state of the encryption channel is monitored based on the heartbeat detection method. If the encryption channel is in the disconnected state, the continuous disconnection time of the encryption channel is recorded.

[0055] The collection period is set to 1s in this embodiment. To reduce the dynamic fluctuations of the quantum key, a certain time period is selected to take the average value of i data obtained in this embodiment The average values of the throughput and the error rate are calculated according to the following formula:

[0056] Average throughput :

[0057] ,

[0058] Average error rate :

[0059]

[0060] Step S4: Abnormality judgment

[0061] Set traffic threshold , based on the , and the on-off state of the encryption channel to judge the abnormality, and if any of the judgment conditions is met, the encryption channel is judged to be abnormal, and the quantum key distribution executor at the encryption end triggers the dynamic update of the quantum key. The judgment conditions include:

[0062] Average throughput

[0063] Average error rate

[0064] The continuous disconnection time of the encryption channel (node offline time) is greater than or equal to 10s

[0065] Step S5: Perform dynamic update of quantum key

[0066] After the abnormality judgment of the service is obtained, the quantum key distribution device generates a new quantum key according to the calculated new update period and new window size to replace the existing key, so as to realize the dynamic update of the quantum key. The dynamic update of the quantum key mainly uses the method of changing the key application mode and reducing the key update frequency to update the key consumption rate. First, the priority index Priority of the service is calculated:

[0067]

[0068] Calculate the new update period:

[0069]

[0070] Calculate the new window size:

[0071]

[0072] In order to ensure the operability in actual operation, the following constraint conditions are set:

[0073] ,

[0074] According to the new update cycle and window size Set the new quantum key parameters and proceed to the next quantum key parameter update cycle. If the quantum key window... The cycle lengthens relative to the previous cycle, filling in new quantum keys until it reaches... Target quantity; if quantum key window Compared to the previous cycle, the number of quantum key sequences is reduced, discarding keys with smaller quantum key numbers until the number of sequences reaches the minimum. Target quantity. When the key update cycle arrives, all keys within the window are forcibly replaced. The arrival of the update cycle means that no anomaly is triggered within the entire update cycle; this is a timed key update strategy and does not involve adjustments to the cycle or window. Through the above design, the method of this invention has two modes: regular, normalized updates and anomaly-triggered updates.

[0075] like Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the key window mechanism in this embodiment, demonstrating the encrypted data packet transmission process between the sender and receiver under this mechanism. It includes key polling, multiplexing, and synchronization mechanisms, as detailed below:

[0076] The sender and receiver, according to Pre-set the same key window, to For example, the key window includes [Key A, Key B, Key C], and the initial state of the current key pointer is set to Key A. The sending end uses the keys in the window to encrypt and send data packets in sequence. In this embodiment, specifically: data packet 1 is encrypted using Key A, data packet 2 is encrypted using Key B, data packet 3 is encrypted using Key C, data packet 4 is encrypted using Key A again, and so on. The receiving end synchronously maintains the same key window and pointer position, and selects the corresponding key to decrypt according to the data packet sequence number.

[0077] If the window size expands to The sending end adds keys D and E, and the window becomes [key A, key B, key C, key D, key E]. The receiving end synchronizes the new window through key update messages, and the polling rule changes to: key A → key B → key C → key D → key E → key A.

[0078] The encrypted power wireless node will use the new encrypted quantum key. and The new quantum key is synchronized to the decryption end power wireless node. After the synchronization operation is completed, the power wireless node fills the new encryption end quantum key window into the new encryption end quantum key window, and performs the quantum key group sequence number addition operation and quantum key index pointer update operation.

The flow sensor is responsible for monitoring network traffic load, and uses the sliding window statistical method to calculate the throughput in real time. When the average throughput is abnormal, an alarm signal is triggered; the communication quality probe is responsible for detecting the communication quality of the wireless channel, and measures the bit error rate BER in real time, and triggers an abnormal signal.

[0085] The key policy library module is a secure database for storing key base parameters, which is responsible for storing the base key parameters of three-level business, and receiving real-time data from the state monitoring engine to provide a reference value for dynamic adjustment.

[0086] The key distribution executor module is a processing unit for executing dynamic adjustment and distribution of key parameters. Based on real-time state data, new parameters are calculated and updated key parameters are pushed to the power wireless node.

[0087] The power wireless node refers to a terminal device deployed in the power communication network. It is responsible for receiving parameter instructions from the key distribution executor, executing key window adjustment and key polling mechanism, and automatically triggering key resynchronization request when an abnormality is detected.
