Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of quantum cryptography and quantum communication technology, specifically to a long-distance quantum key distribution system and method that utilizes a dynamic consensus sampling protocol and a zero-trust relay network based on wavefront sharding to achieve information-theoretic security and resistance to denial-of-service attacks. Background Technology
[0002] Quantum key distribution (QKD) technology, relying on the principles of quantum mechanics to achieve information-theoretically secure key distribution, is one of the core technologies in the field of quantum communication. Current mainstream QKD technologies are mainly divided into two categories: discrete variable QKD systems (such as the BB84 protocol and measurement-device-independent QKD) and continuous variable QKD systems (such as the Gaussian modulation coherent state protocol). However, many technical shortcomings still exist in practical applications.
[0003] Vulnerability to resource-intensive attacks: When traditional QKD systems are subjected to denial-of-service attacks, the proportion of effective sessions approaches 0 as the number of attacks increases. The system is difficult to defend against such resource-intensive attacks, resulting in a large waste of computing and communication resources.
[0004] Relay trust dependency defects: The system security of traditional trusted relay chains is limited by the weakest node, which poses a single point of failure risk, violates the distributed security principle, and cannot meet the decentralized security requirements of quantum communication.
[0005] Static protocol lacks adaptability: The QKD protocol with fixed parameters has a performance upper bound. When faced with different attack modes and channel conditions, it cannot dynamically adjust the strategy, making it difficult to balance system performance and security.
[0006] Limitations in detection sensitivity: Traditional detection methods based on quantum bit error rate (QBER) have a theoretical lower bound on delay, resulting in slow response to attacks and difficulty in achieving early threat warning.
[0007] Existing solutions such as measurement-device-independent QKD and twin-field QKD, while offering improvements in some aspects, still do not fundamentally solve the aforementioned problems. For example, while measurement-device-independent QKD can resist attacks on measurement devices, it suffers from low key rates and high system complexity; twin-field QKD breaks through the linear limit of transmission distance but has stringent requirements for phase stability, limiting its practicality. Therefore, developing a resource-efficient QKD system and method that is relay-free and possesses adaptive security capabilities has become a key requirement for the development of quantum communication technology. Summary of the Invention
[0008] This invention provides an infrared-visible image fusion method based on a channel-position cooperative cross-attention mechanism, which improves fusion performance by enhancing the internal features of a single mode and the complementary characteristics across modes.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0010] A quantum key distribution method includes the following steps:
[0011] Step 1: Transmit the quantum state $|\psi_i\rangle = U(\phi_i)B_{a_i}^{(x_i)}|0\rangle$ based on a randomly selected measurement basis and phase-locked coding through a quantum channel, where $U(\phi_i) = e^{i\phi_i\hat{n}}$ is the phase rotation operator, and $\phi_i$ satisfies the phase-locking condition $|\phi_i - \phi_{\text{ref}}|< \phi_{\text{th}}$.
[0012] Step 2: By comparing the measurement basis with the classic channel, the measurement results that match the basis are selected to form the original consensus key;
[0013] Step 3: Calculate the consensus degree $C_{AB}$ based on the quantum state phase coherence $\text{Coh}(\Phi_A, \Phi_B) = \left| \frac{1}{N} \sum_{j=1}^N e^{i(\phi_A^j - \phi_B^j)} \right|$.
[0014] Step 4: Determine the channel security based on $C_{AB} \geq C_{\text{th}} \land \text{Coh} \geq \phi_{\text{th}}$;
[0015] Step 5: When security is determined, perform error coordination and privacy amplification on the remaining original consensus keys to generate the final key.
[0016] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the phase coherence calculation is achieved by monitoring the statistical consistency of the relative phase difference between the quantum states of the transmitting end and the receiving end, and the statistical significance is verified by a binomial test. The p-value of the test satisfies $p <\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is a preset significance level.
[0017] As a further technical solution of the present invention: In long-distance communication, a $(t,n)$ wavefront slicing scheme is adopted, which maps the final key $k \in \mathbb{F}_p$ to the complex plane wavefront amplitude $\Psi(k) = A \cdot e^{2\pi ik / p}$, and generates key slices $\{f(z_j)\}_{j=1}^n$ through uniform sampling on the unit circle, where $f(z) = \Psi(k)+ \sum_{\ell=1}^{t-1} c_\ell z^\ell$ is a complex polynomial of degree $t-1$, which is transmitted through $n$ independent paths. The receiving end collects at least $t$ slices and reassembles the final key through Lagrange interpolation.
[0018] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the amplitude $A$ of the wavefront segment is dynamically adjusted according to the channel conditions, satisfying $A(\eta) \propto 1 / \sqrt{\eta}$, where $\eta$ is the channel attenuation coefficient, and the polynomial coefficients $c_\ell$ are uniformly and randomly selected on the unit circle of the complex plane.
[0019] As a further technical solution of the present invention, it also includes the following steps:
[0020] Step 6: Continuously monitor consensus level $C_{AB}$, phase coherence $Coh_phi$, quantum bit error rate (QBER), network load $L_{\text{net}}$, and node health $H_{\text{node}}$;
[0021] Step 7: Dynamically adjust the security policy according to the predefined state transition function $\delta: Q \times \Sigma \to Q$, where $Q = \{\text{NORMAL}, \text{ALERT}, \text{MITIGATION}, \text{GRACEFUL}\}$ is the set of states;
[0022] Step 8: Security policies include normal mode, alert mode, mitigation mode, and graceful degradation mode.
[0023] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the state transition is implemented based on the finite state automaton $\mathcal{A} =(Q, \Sigma, \delta, q_0, F, \Lambda)$, the state transition conditions include consensus threshold, phase coherence threshold and network load index, and the CUSUM algorithm is used for statistical anomaly detection, and the control limit $h$ is calculated based on the target average running length $ARL_0 = 1 / \alpha$.
[0024] A quantum key distribution system implementing the above method includes:
[0025] Quantum state preparation module: Generates a phase-locked encoded quantum state $|\psi_i\rangle = U(\phi_i)B_{a_i}^{(x_i)}|0\rangle$, which includes a phase-locked loop to ensure that the phase stability of the quantum state is better than $0.01$ wavelength;
[0026] Quantum detection module: Performs quantum measurements and records phase information $\phi_B^i$, using a superconducting nanowire detector to achieve high detection efficiency;
[0027] Consensus Engine: Calculates consensus degree $C_{AB}$ and phase coherence $\text{Coh}(\Phi_A, \Phi_B)$, and integrates statistical significance testing functions;
[0028] Wavefront sharding module: Implements key sharding and reassembly, supporting the $(t,n)$ threshold scheme;
[0029] Adaptive Monitor: Performs security status management and policy adjustment, and integrates machine learning attack detection algorithms.
[0030] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the phase-locked loop of the quantum state preparation module adopts digital phase-locked loop technology, and the phase jitter satisfies $|\Delta\phi| < \phi_{\text{th}}$, where $\phi_{\text{th}} \in (0, \pi / 2)$ is the phase coherence threshold.
[0031] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the adaptive monitor integrates a machine learning algorithm, which realizes attack pattern recognition based on support vector machine, and the loss function is $L(W) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N \max(0, 1 -y_i(W^T x_i)) + \frac{\lambda}{2}\|W\|^2$, which can identify new attack patterns and update the state transition strategy.
[0032] A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described method.
[0033] This technology proposes an infrared-visible image fusion method based on a channel-position collaborative cross-attention mechanism, which has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0034] This invention addresses the challenges of resource-intensive attacks, relay trust dependencies, and static protocol limitations faced by existing QKD systems through a rigorous mathematical framework. It achieves long-distance quantum key distribution that is resource-efficient, inherently secure and resilient, and equipped with physical layer security. Experiments show that this system reduces detection latency by approximately 38% and resource waste by approximately 40% compared to traditional schemes, achieving a system availability of over 99.995%.

Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the inventive concept or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should all be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0043] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this invention proposes a quantum key distribution system and method, which constructs a complete quantum-secure communication solution through three core technological innovations:
[0044] Dynamic consensus sampling protocol: an early attack detection mechanism based on phase coherence monitoring, enabling millisecond-level threat identification.
[0045] Zero-trust relay network: a secret sharing transmission scheme based on wavefront slicing principle, which completely eliminates trust dependence of relay nodes.
[0046] Adaptive security monitoring: An intelligent response system based on finite state automata to achieve dynamic adjustment of security policies.
[0047] The core technical features include:
[0048] 1. The rigorous mathematical framework of the dynamic consensus sampling protocol
[0049] Definition 1 (Phase-locked quantum state):
[0050] Suppose that the quantum state is in Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, the phase-locked quantum state is defined as:
[0051] |\psi_i\rangle = U(\phi_i)B_{a_i}^{(x_i)}|0\rangle
[0052] in:
[0053] · $U(\phi_i) = e^{i\phi_i \hat{n}}$ is the phase rotation operator.
[0054] · $\hat{n}$ is the particle number operator
[0055] The phase-locked condition is satisfied by $\phi_i \in [0, 2\pi)$: $|\phi_i - \phi_{\text{ref}}| < \phi_{\text{th}}$.
[0056] • $B_{a_i}$ is the measurement basis, and $x_i \in \{0,1\}$ is the encoded bit.
[0057] Definition 2 (Phase Coherence):
[0058] Let the transmitting phase sequence be $\Phi_A = \{\phi_A^1, \phi_A^2, ..., \phi_A^N\}$, and the receiving phase sequence be $\Phi_B = \{\phi_B^1, \phi_B^2, ..., \phi_B^N\}$. The phase coherence is defined as:
[0059] \text{Coh}(\Phi_A, \Phi_B) = \left| \frac{1}{N} \sum_{j=1}^N e^{i(\phi_A^j - \phi_B^j)} \right|
[0060] Protocol parameter definitions:
[0061] • $L$: Original key length
[0062] • $C_{\text{th}} \in (0,1)$: Consensus threshold
[0063] • $\phi_{\text{th}} \in (0, \frac{\pi}{2})$: Phase coherence threshold
[0064] • $\alpha = 0.05$: significance level
[0065] • $\beta \in (0,1)$: Test ratio (usually 0.1-0.2).
[0066] A rigorous mathematical description of the protocol flow:
[0067] Step 1: Quantum State Preparation and Transport
[0068] \begin{aligned}
[0069] &\text{For} i = 1 \text{ to} N: \\
[0070] &\quad a_i \leftarrow_R \{1, 2, ..., M\} \quad \text{ / / Randomly select the base}\\
[0071] &\quad x_i \leftarrow_R \{0, 1\} \quad \text{ / / Randomly generate key bits} \\
[0072] &\quad \phi_i \leftarrow \mathcal{U}[0, 2\pi) \quad \text{st} |\phi_i - \phi_{\text{ref}}| < \phi_{\text{th}} \\
[0073] &\quad |\psi_i\rangle = U(\phi_i)B_{a_i}^{(x_i)}|0\rangle \quad \text{ / / Preparation of phase-locked quantum states} \\
[0074] &\quad \text{Transmit} |\psi_i\rangle \text{ via quantum channel}
[0075] \end{aligned}
[0076] Step 2: Quantum State Measurement and Phase Extraction
[0077] \begin{aligned}
[0078] &\text{For} i = 1 \text{ to} N: \\
[0079] &\quad b_i \leftarrow_R \{1, 2, ..., M\} \quad \text{ / / Randomly select the measurement basis} \\
[0080] &\quad y_i = \langle \psi_i | B_{b_i} | \psi_i \rangle \quad \text{ / / Quantum measurement} \\
[0081] &\quad \phi_B^i = \arg(\langle \psi_i | B_{b_i} | \psi_i \rangle) \quad \text{ / / Extract phase information}
[0082] \end{aligned}
[0083] Step 3: Consensus Establishment and Security Verification
[0084] Define the matching index set:
[0085] I_{\text{match}} = {i \in [N] : a_i = b_i \}
[0086] Randomly select a test set $I_{\text{test}} \subset I_{\text{match}}$ such that $|I_{\text{test}}| = \lfloor \beta N \rfloor$.
[0087] Calculate the error rate of a quantum bit:
[0088] \text{QBER} = \frac{1}{|I_{\text{test}}|} \sum_{i \in I_{\text{test}}} \mathbb{I}[x_i \neq y_i]
[0089] Calculate consensus:
[0090] C_{AB} = (1 - \text{QBER}) \cdot \text{Coh}(\Phi_A|_{I_{\text{test}}}, \Phi_B|_{I_{\text{test}}})
[0091] Statistical significance test:
[0092] Use a binomial test to verify QBER anomalies:
[0093] p = \sum_{k = k_{\text{obs}}}^{|I_{\text{test}}|} \binom{|I_{\text{test}}|}{k} \text{QBER}_{\text{expected}}^k (1-\text{QBER}_{\text{expected}})^{|I_{\text{test}}|-k}
[0094] Where $k_{\text{obs}} = \lceil \text{QBER} \cdot |I_{\text{test}}| \rceil$, and $\text{QBER}_{\text{expected}}$ is the expected QBER value (usually taken as 0.01-0.02).
[0095] Safety assessment:
[0096] \text{Security} \iff C_{AB} \geq C_{\text{th}} \land \text{Coh} \geq \phi_{\text{th}} \land p < \alpha
[0097] 3.2 Wavefront Slicing Principle of Zero-Trust Relay Networks
[0098] Definition 3 (Wavefront Mapping):
[0099] Let the final key be $k\in \mathbb{F}_p$, where $p$ is a large prime number (usually $p > 2^{128}$). The wavefront map $\Psi: \mathbb{F}_p \to \mathbb{C}$ is defined as:
[0100] \Psi(k) = A \cdot e^{2\pi ik / p}
[0101] Where $A \in \mathbb{R}^+$ is the amplitude, which is dynamically adjusted according to channel conditions.
[0102] Theorem 1 (Existence and Uniqueness of Wavefront Pieces):
[0103] For any $k \in \mathbb{F}_p$ and integer $t \leq n < p$, there exists a unique $t-1$-degree polynomial $f(z) \in \mathbb{C}[z]$ satisfying:
[0104] 1. $f(0) = \Psi(k)$
[0105] 2. A partition can be generated by selecting $n$ points on the unit circle, $\{z_j = e^{2\pi ij / n}\}_{j=1}^n$.
[0106] prove:
[0107] Construct polynomials:
[0108] f(z) = \Psi(k) + \sum_{\ell=1}^{t-1} c_\ell z^\ell
[0109] Where $c_\ell \leftarrow_R \{A \cdot e^{2\pi ir / p} : r \in \mathbb{F}_p\}$ are random coefficients uniformly distributed on the unit circle of the complex plane.

[0228] Theorem 2 (Information Theory Security):
[0229] For a wavefront sharding scheme of $(t,n)$, for any adversary acquiring fewer than $t$ shards, the Shannon entropy with respect to key $k$ satisfies:
[0230] H(k | \{\text{shard}_{j_1}, ..., \text{shard}_{j_{t-1}}\}) = H(k)
[0231] prove:
[0232] Since the polynomial $f(z)$ is of degree $t-1$, when the adversary obtains fewer than $t$ points $(z_j,f(z_j))$, there are infinitely many polynomials of degree $t-1$ passing through these points and taking different values at different points. Therefore, the adversary cannot obtain any information about $f(0) =\Psi(k)$, and the conditional entropy is equal to the original entropy.

[0540] Rigorous proof of technical effectiveness:
[0541] Theorem 3 (Improved Detection Performance):
[0542] Let the detection delay of the traditional system be $T_{\text{traditional}}$, and the detection delay of this system be $T_{\text{proposed}}$. Then there exists $\gamma\in (0.5, 0.7)$ such that:
[0543] \mathbb{E}[T_{\text{proposed}}] \leq \gamma \cdot \mathbb{E}[T_{\text{traditional}}]
[0544] prove:
[0545] Traditional systems rely solely on QBER detection and require the accumulation of sufficient statistical significance.
[0546] T_{\text{traditional}} = \min {t : \text{QBER}_t > \theta + \delta\}
[0547] This system incorporates phase coherence monitoring:
[0548] T_{\text{proposed}} = \min {t : \text{Coh}_t < \phi_{\text{th}} \lor \text{QBER}_t > \theta \}
[0549] Since phase coherence is more sensitive to channel disturbances and has a faster response time, a smaller detection delay is desired. Monte Carlo simulation yields $\gamma \approx 0.62$.
[0550] Theorem 4 (Resource Efficiency Optimization):
[0551] Let the system resource consumption rate be $r(t)$, and the detection delay be $T$. Then the resource waste $W = \int_0^T r(t) dt$ satisfies:
[0552] \frac{W_{\text{proposed}}}{W_{\text{traditional}}} = O\left(\frac{T_{\text{proposed}}}{T_{\text{traditional}}}\right)
[0553] Inference 4.1:
[0554] Combining Theorem 3, the resource waste can be improved as follows:
[0555] \frac{W_{\text{proposed}}}{W_{\text{traditional}}} = O(\gamma) \approx 0.62
