Physical model for B92-QKD authentication based on analogy with optical chaotic systems

Nemanja N. Miljkovic, Aleksandar D. Stojanovic, Petar S. Matavulj

Information and communication security are one of the most global security issues. As a solution of this problem emerge quantum key distribution, technology that guarantees security by the laws of physics. But without authentication this technology is also subjected to cyberattacks. In this paper physical model for authentication of B92 protocol is proposed and explained. Based on analogy with optical chaotic systems this model gives advanced security in comparison to so far proposed systems.

Securing and auto-synchronizing communication over free-space optics using quantum key distribution and chaotic systems

Harry C. Shaw, Naveed Mahmud, Esam El‐Araby +1 more

Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication provides very large bandwidth, relatively low cost, low power, low mass of implementation, and improved security when compared to conventional Free-Space Radio-Frequency (FSRF) systems. In this paper, we demonstrate a communication protocol that demonstrates improved security and longer-range FSO communication, compared to existing FSO security techniques, such as N-slit interferometers. The protocol integrates chaotic communications with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) techniques. A Lorenz chaotic system, which is inherently secure and auto-synchronized, is utilized for secure data communications over a classical channel, while QKD is used to exchange crucial chaotic system parameters over a secure quantum channel. We also provide a concept of operations for a NASA mission combining chaotic communications and QKD operating synergistically in an end-to-end space communications link. The experimental simulation results and analysis are favorable towards our approach.

A short wavelength GigaHertz clocked fiber-optic quantum key distribution system

Karen J. Gordon, Verónica Fernández, Paul D. Townsend +1 more

A quantum key distribution (QKD) system has been developed, using a standard telecommunications optical fiber, which is capable of operating at clock rates of greater than 1 GHz. The QKD system implements a polarization encoded version of the B92 protocol. The system employs vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with emission wavelengths of 850 nm as weak coherent light sources, and silicon single photon avalanche diodes as the single photon detectors. A distributed feedback laser of emission wavelength 1.3 /spl mu/m, and a linear gain germanium avalanche photodiode was used to optically synchronize individual photons over the standard telecommunications fiber. The QKD system exhibited a quantum bit error rate (QBER) of 1.4%, and an estimated net bit rate (NBR) greater than 100 000 bits/sup -1/ for a 4.2-km transmission range. For a 10-km fiber range, a QBER of 2.1%, and an estimated NBR of greater than 7000 bits/sup -1/ was achieved.
