Geometric discord of any arbitrary dimensional bipartite system and its application in quantum key distribution

Rashi Jain, Satyabrata Adhikari

Abstract Entangled quantum states are regarded as a key resource in quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols. However, quantum correlations, other than entanglement can also play a significant role in the QKD protocols. In this work, we will focus on one such measure of quantum correlation, known as geometric quantum discord (GQD). Firstly, we derive an analytical expression of GQD for two-qutrit quantum systems and further generalize it for d 1 ⨂ d 2 dimensional systems. Next, we apply the concept of GQD in studying QKD. In particular, if the shared resource state is an entangled state constructed with the linear combination of the tensor product of the Bell pair and the state σ i ’s, i = 0, 1, 2, 3, then we have shown that under some assumption on σ i ’s, the lower bound for a distillable secret key rate K D can be expressed in terms of GQD of σ 0 + σ 1 2 and σ 2 + σ 3 2 . Thus, the distillable key rate depends upon the GQD of σ 0 + σ 1 2 and σ 2 + σ 3 2 , when the communicating parties uses private states for generating a secret key in presence of an eavesdropper. Further, for a certain range of GQD of σ 0 + σ 1 2 and σ 2 + σ 3 2 <

Physical Layer Security in a Private 5G Network for Industrial and Mobility Application

Shivraj Hanumant Gonde, Christoph Frisch, Svetoslav Duhovnikov +3 more

Cellular communication technologies such as 5G are deployed on a large scale around the world. Compared to other communication technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, or Ultra Wideband (UWB), the 5G communication standard describes support for a large variety of use cases, e.g., Internet of Things (loT), vehicular, industrial, and campus-wide communications. An organization can operate a Private 5G network to provide connectivity to devices in their manufacturing environment. Physical Layer Key Generation (PLKG) is a method to generate a symmetric secret on two nodes despite the presence of a potential passive eavesdropper. To the best of our knowledge, this work is one of the first to implement PLKG in a real Private 5G network. Therefore, it highlights the possibility of integrating PLKG in the communication technology highly relevant for industrial applications. This paper exemplifies the establishment of a long-term symmetric key between an aerial vehicle and IT infrastructure both located in a manufacturing environment and communicating via the radio interface of the Private 5G network.

Updatable Private Set Intersection with Low Communication Overhead

Chao Qi, Mingmei Zheng, Aoxiang Xu +3 more

Private set intersection (PSI) is a fundamental cryptographic task that allows two mutually distrusting parties, each holding a private set of elements, to jointly compute the intersection of their sets. It ensures a symmetric information structure where neither party gains any knowledge about the other’s elements beyond those in the shared intersection. Traditional PSI protocols are primarily designed for static settings, which limits their applicability and efficiency in dynamic scenarios where input sets continuously evolve. To address this challenge, the notion of updatable PSI (UPSI) was introduced, enabling repeated PSI computations over changing inputs while preserving the symmetric privacy guarantees between participants. Despite the numerous recent advancements in UPSI research, it still suffers from significant communication overhead. In this paper, we address this challenge by introducing LcUPSI (low-communication UPSI), a new updatable PSI protocol that achieves remarkably low communication overhead. We formally prove that LcUPSI is secure in the semi-honest model. Furthermore, we compare the LcUPSI protocol with the state-of-the-art UPSI protocol BMSTZ24 (ASIACRYPT). The results demonstrate that LcUPSI significantly reduces communication overhead, highlighting its advantages in low-bandwidth conditions.
