An Improvement on "Cascade" Protocol in Quantum Key Distribution

Guihua Zeng

Secret key reconciliation is an important step in quantum key distribution(QKD).Cascade protocol is the most widely used secret key reconciliation protocol(SKR) in practical quantum key distribution.In this paper,we propose an improvement scheme of Cascade based on the work in[6] and perform some number simulations to evaluate our method.It′s shown that our method would achieve a higher efficiency than the original and some variants of Cascade.

Reliability-Based Sliced Error Correction in Secret Key Agreement from Fading Channel

Takay Shimizu, Hisato Iwai, Hideichi Sasaoka

We consider information reconciliation in secret key agreement from a fading channel where two legitimate parties utilize channel estimates of their fading channel as correlated random variables to generate a secret key. The information reconciliation is a process of correcting the discrepancies between the legitimate parties' keys by public discussion in the presence of eavesdropper, where the amount of the information revealed in the public discussion is needed to be as little as possible. In this paper, we propose information reconciliation protocols using the reliability values of channel estimates in order to correct errors effectively. The proposed information reconciliation protocols are modified versions of a protocol used in quantum key distribution called sliced error correction using Cascade. Simulation results show that the proposed protocols can correct errors with less the number of disclosed bits and less the number of communications than the conventional sliced error correction using Cascade.
