Abstract

With the development of quantum technology, the application of quantum characteristics to wireless networks has become a research hotspot. In this paper, a quantum handshake method based on quantum dialogue and wireless network has been proposed. At first, quantum computation is introduced and the IEEE802.11i is carefully discussed and analyzed. Then, by combining quantum dialogue with IEEE802.11i wireless network, a quantum handshake method is put forward, which can effectively guarantee the communication security of data in a wireless network. In terms of transmission time and security, quantum handshake method is better than classic handshake. In addition, the proposed scheme has high security and practicability.

Using Quantum Cryptography for Securing Wireless LAN Networks

Abolfazl Falahati, Hadi Meshgi

Quantum cryptography is an emerging technology in which two parties may simultaneously generate shared, secret cryptographic key material using the transmission of quantum states of light. Key distribution is the problem of classical cryptography algorithm, and tends to provide safe channel to transport key. Quantum cryptography could distribute key in quantum channel. Eavesdropper can not access to key on quantum channel. If Eve attack on quantum channel QBER increases and she is detected. While the application of quantum cryptography in fiber network has significant advances, research on the application of quantum cryptography in mobile networks is still premature. In this paper, we analyze the interests of using quantum technique for the distribution of encryption keys in 802.11 wireless networks. We also propose a scheme for the combination of quantum cryptography and 802.11i security mechanisms for the establishment of the PTK (Pairwise Transient Key).

Integration of a quantum protocol for mutual authentication and secret key distribution within 802.11i standard

Aymen Ghilen, Mostafa Azizi, Ridha Bouallègue

By relying upon the laws of quantum physics, quantum cryptography is reaching an extremely high level of security guarantee. It allows establishing a secret and perfectly random key material between two network nodes. It improves the contemporary cryptographic methods based only on computational security by integrating a quantum cryptographic solution. Since quantum technology becomes an attractive prospect, our overriding objective is to provide a quantum key agreement scheme that properly authenticates users in 802.11i networks. In this paper, we introduce a quantum scheme, for mutual authentication and key establishment for the integration within IEEE 802.11 networks towards absolute communication security. The key issued from the quantum algorithm authenticates the two endpoints and will be used for building the pairwise key and the group key hierarchies. To analyze the security of our approach, a formal verification of some security properties is performed using PRISM as a model checker tool.

Thi Mai Trang Nguyen, Mohamed Ali Sfaxi, Solange Ghernaouti-Hélie

Quantum cryptography is a promising solution towards absolute security in long term cryptosystems. While the use of quantum cryptography in fiber optical networks gets significant advances, research on the application of quantum cryptography in mobile wireless network is still premature. In this paper, we analyze the interests of using quantum cryptography in 802.11 wireless networks, and propose a scheme integrating quantum cryptography in 802.11i security mechanisms for the distribution of the encryption keys. The use of an apparatus network to provide alternative line-of-sight paths is also discussed.

High performance quantum cryptography architectures in IEEE 802.11 WLAN

Hongyang Ma, Shumei Wang

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is an ingenious application of quantum mechanics in information field. Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is gaining popularity as they are fast, cost effective, flexible and easy to use. They are, however, faced with some serious security challenges and the choice of security protocol is a critical issue for IT. In this paper, it analyzes the IEEE 802.11i wireless networking amendment with respect to data confidentiality, integrity, mutual authentication and availability. It provides novel high-performance quantum cryptography architectures in IEEE 802.11 WLAN by establishing a quantum key over a long distance. The supplicant sends qubits to the authenticator server by sharing EPR. Compared with the classical network architecture, it is proved in theory that an eavesdropper (Eve) invariably introduces errors within communication network if it wants to gain useful information. Quantum cryptography guarantees the security of the network.

Overview of Technology Research in Quantum Communication System

Yixuan Chen

As the established communication networks no longer meet people’s need in the speed and the security in transferring information, quantum communication draws people’s attention. Taking advantage of the basic quantum properties, quantum communication guarantees the message being delivered promptly and safely. This paper first introduces a general background quantum communication. After that, we introduced the history of the development of quantum communication and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) as well as the general flow of quantum communication. Based on that, we evaluated a scheme of quantum communication network based on QKD, proposing different methods to improve the security and efficiency of the transmission of information. We encapsulated the history of the development of QKD. We conclude that the improvement of quantum communication depends on the algorithms. While various algorithms are proposed, we discussed a potentially possible way to combine the advantages of the algorithms. However, the actual effectiveness of our method still needs to be testified in future researches.
