The two authorized users use repeatedly a sequence of the pure entangled pairs （quantum key） shared for encrypting and decrypting the secret message carried by the travelling photons directly. For checking eavesdropping, the two parties perform the single-photon measurements on some decoy particles before each round. This scheme has the advantage that the pure entangled quantum signal source is feasible at present and any eavesdropper cannot steal the message.展开更多

MultiLevel Coding/ MultiStage Decoding, which fully utilizes optimization technique such as vector quantization and iterative decoding and the optimal channel coding most close to the Shannon limit, was used to realize efficient reverse reconciliation algorithm. Simulation results showed that the proposed method can improve the secure key distribution rate to 2.2 kb/s and the coding efficiency to 0.89 over 20 km in single-mode optical fiber. Moreover, there still is room for much improvement.展开更多

This motivate us to design a new key exchange protocol and eneryption scheme in this paper. Firstly, some acknowledged mathematical problems was introduced, such as ergodic matrix problem and tensor decomposition problem, the two problems have been proved to NPC hard. From the computational complexity prospective, NPC problems have been considered that there is no polynomial-time quantum algorithm to solve them. From the algebraic structures prospective, non-commutative cryptography has been considered to resist quantum. The matrix and tensor operator we adopted also satisfied with this non-commutative algebraic structures, so they can be used as candidate problems for resisting quantum from perspective of computational complexity theory and algebraic structures. Secondly, a new problem was constructed based on the introduced problems in this paper, then a key exchange protocol and a public key encryption scheme were proposed based on it. Finally the security analysis, efficiency, recommended parameters, performance evaluation and etc. were also been given. The two schemes has the following characteristics, provable security,security bits can be scalable, to achieve high efficiency, quantum resistance, and etc.展开更多

One solution to ensure data security is encryption, where keys are central. There is therefore a need to find robusts key generation implementation that is effective, inexpensive and non-invasive for protecting and preventing data counterfeiting. In this paper, we use the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation to generate encryption keys.展开更多
