Quantum cryptography based solution for secure and efficient key management for e-Governance in India

R. Sivaram Prasad, G. Murali

Secure key distribution is the fundamental problem in traditional symmetric key cryptography. Many techniques came into existence to safeguard key distribution. The core functionality of a key management technique is to share a secret key between two parties in secure and efficient fashion. This is the most important concern when cryptography is integrated with a communication network. Adversaries can exploit vulnerabilities in key management mechanism. Quantum key distribution is a promising technique that ensures unconditionally secure distribution of a bit string, a secret key, between two end points. Since quantum cannot be cloned or split, it can be used for providing fool proof mechanism for secure and efficient key management. This paper proposes a novel key management framework with underlying customized protocols to form a quantum trusted network that serve e-Governance applications in India. The custom protocols help to overcome the point-to-point limitation of quantum besides curbing security loopholes for reliable and provably secure communications. Quantum device provided by "Quantum in Cloud" of University of Bristol is used for the empirical study of the proposed framework.

An Authenticated Key Distribution Scheme

Sara Abozied, Hassan M. A. Elkamchouchi, Yasmine Abouelseoud +1 more

In this paper, a key distribution protocol based on the integration of both classical and quantum cryptography is developed. Quantum cryptography is used for secure optical transmission which employs quantum mechanisms to distribute session keys. Classical cryptography provides convenient techniques that enable efficient user authentication and prevent denial of previous commitments. The proposed scheme is based on the RSA-TBOS signcryption scheme to achieve the combined functionality of a digital signature and encryption in an efficient manner. The transmitter generates a random session key, and applies the signcryption module to it. It therefore offers three services: privacy, authenticity and non-repudiation. The ciphertext is converted to binary bits then to qubits using a pre-shared random number between the transmitter and receiver. The session key is used later for secure transmission of messages over a public optical channel.

Secure and efficient key management technique in quantum cryptography network

Montida Pattaranantakul, Aroon Janthong, Kittichai Sanguannam +2 more

In conventional security mechanism, security services based on symmetric key cryptography assume keys to be distributed prior to secure communications. The core function of exchanging and sharing a secret key between two endpoints are the secure key management methodology which is one of the most critical elements need to be more concerned when integrating cryptographic functions into the system. In case the key management mechanisms is weak can lead to the vulnerability holes or a potentially fatal outsider attacks as the harmful effects to the system. Since, there is still no standardized architecture or protocol that can provide cross application symmetric key management services. Therefore, this paper approaches a secure key management model and its custom protocols to build Thailand quantum trusted network with offers simultaneous quantum key distribution to multiple user overtime. Consequently, the proposed technique has also overcome the limitation of quantum point-to-point key sharing. Based on the discussion of key management security requirement, deal with generic key management concepts and designing the new custom protocols to close the possibility loopholes, to offers reliability and convenience of use, as well as to introduce a secure and efficient key management technique for quantum cryptography network in Thailand where any communication services can take place.
