Secure key distribution exploiting error rate criticality for radio frequency links

Christopher John Stevens, Ben Allen, Anthony Keith Brown

We propose a method by which two radio frequency (RF) communication terminals exchange encryption keys or other data securely. This method draws on the approach developed for quantum key distribution (QKD) for detecting eavesdroppers but our method does not use any quantum properties at all. Instead, by exploiting the effects an eavesdropper has on channel stability, we explore a line-of-sight link radio in which data transfer rates are so high as to approach the Shannon limit. With very steep rises in bit error rate accompanying a small degradation of signal-to-noise limits for certain forward error correction codes, it becomes possible to infer the existence of an eavesdropper before they are able to obtain a complete key. We describe our method and analyse one possible implementation using low density parity check codes with quadrature phase shift keying modulation. The proposed technique is in principle far easier to implement than quantum-based approaches for RF and optical wireless links since the required hardware is readily available and the basic principles are well known and well understood. Finally, we show our method to have a higher key rate and spectral efficiency than those of QKD.

A reconciliation protocol with delayed error correction for quantum key distribution

Shengmei Zhao, Peng Jia Shi, Hong XIAO

A delayed error-correction (EC) reconciliation protocol for quantum key distribution (QKD) is proposed in the paper, where the error correction operation is operated after the messages have been transmitted. There are two advantages of the proposed protocol. First, it is possible for the two nodes without a direct quantum link to share secret keys, when the two nodes are separately connected to a common trusted relay in the QKD network. Besides, the reconciliation protocol with the delayed EC also simplifies the whole reconciliation process. It corrects both errors caused by communications during QKD process and that inherent in message bits. The key generation rate of the delayed EC protocol is presented. Finally, the bit error rate of the proposed protocol is analyzed when using polar codes as the error correction codes. The results show that the performance of the delayed EC reconciliation protocol with polar codes were better than those using low-density parity check code.

Secure practical indoor optical wireless communications using quantum key distribution

Lee, Vincent, Dominic C. O'Brien

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) can guarantee security for practical indoor optical wireless environments. The key challenges are to mitigate artificial lighting and ambient light at the receiver. A new spectral region for QKD is proposed and an ideal QKD link model is simulated with experimental ambient light power measurements. Simulation, modelling, and analysis indicates that the carbon dioxide and water absorption band (1370 nm) is a new wavelength region for QKD operation in indoor optical wireless environments. For a feasible QKD link, approximately 20 dB of signal to noise ratio (SNR) is required and a maximum quantum bit error rate (QBER) of 11% when using the BB84 protocol. Links in the new spectral region with a FOV of several degrees are feasible, depending on available components.
