Abstract

An improved security fast encryption prototype is implemented over field installed fibers. Continuous variable quantum key distribution produces 600 bit/sec secret keys allowing session keys renewal of classical symmetric algorithms each 10 seconds.

Improved Long-Distance Two-way Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution over Optical Fiber

László Gyöngyösi

We introduce a new two-way Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution protocol with a range of 160 km of optical fiber. The protocol uses advanced post-processing and does not require tomography or entanglement, allowing easy implementation.

Field test of classical symmetric encryption with continuous variables quantum key distribution

Paul Jouguet, Sébastien Kunz-Jacques, Thierry Debuisschert +8 more

We report on the design and performance of a point-to-point classical symmetric encryption link with fast key renewal provided by a Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution (CVQKD) system. Our system was operational and able to encrypt point-to-point communications during more than six months, from the end of July 2010 until the beginning of February 2011. This field test was the first demonstration of the reliability of a CVQKD system over a long period of time in a server room environment. This strengthens the potential of CVQKD for information technology security infrastructure deployments.
