Multiple-Valued Logic Modelling for Agents Controlled via Optical Networks

Alexey Yu. Bykovsky

Published Jan 25, 2022• 7 citations

Abstract

The methods of data verification are discussed, which are intended for the distant control of autonomous mobile robotic agents via networks, combining optical data links. The problem of trust servers is considered for position verification and position-based cryptography tasks. In order to obtain flexible quantum and classical verification procedures, one should use the collective interaction of agents and network nodes, including some elements of the blockchain. Multiple-valued logic functions defined within discrete k-valued Allen–Givone algebra are proposed for the logically linked list of entries and the distributed ledger, which can be used for distant data verification and breakdown restoration in mobile agents with the help of partner network nodes. A distributed ledger scheme involves the assigning by distant partners of random hash values, which further can be used as keys for access to a set of distributed data storages, containing verification and restoration data. Multiple-valued logic procedures are simple and clear enough for high-dimensional logic modelling and for the design of combined quantum and classical protocols.

Heterogeneous Network Architecture for Integration of AI and Quantum Optics by Means of Multiple-Valued Logic

Alexey Yu. Bykovsky

Quantum optics is regarded as the acknowledged method to provide network quantum keys distribution and in the future secure distributed quantum computing, but it should also provide cryptography protection for mobile robots and the Internet of Things (IoT). This task requires the design of new secret coding schemes, which can be also based on multiple-valued logic (MVL). However, this very specific logic model reveals new possibilities for the hierarchical data clustering of arbitrary data sets. The minimization of multiple-valued logic functions is proposed for the analysis of aggregated objects, which is possible for an arbitrary number of variables. In order to use all the useful properties of the multiple-valued logic, the heterogeneous network architecture is proposed, which includes three allocated levels of artificial intelligence (AI) logic modeling for discrete multiple-valued logic, Boolean logic, and fuzzy logic. Multiple-valued logic is regarded as the possible platform for additional secret coding, data aggregation, and communications, which are provided by the united high dimensional space for network addressing and the targeted control of robotic devices. Models of Boolean and fuzzy logic are regarded as separate logic levels in order to simplify the integration of various algorithms and provide control of additional data protection means for robotic agents.

Position-Based Cryptography with Quantum and Classical Schemes Using Multiple-Valued Logic Computing

Alexey Yu. Bykovsky

Abstract It is proposed that the quantum protocol of D. Unruh be combined with a random oracle scheme based on multiple-valued functions with randomly chosen parameters to verify the visits of a mobile agent to route checkpoints. This approach cannot provide unconditional security but gives an opportunity to improve the relative level of security for position-based cryptography schemes in which an eavesdropper exploits false signals.

Parametrical T-Gate for Joint Processing of Quantum and Classic Optoelectronic Signals

Alexey Yu. Bykovsky, Nikolay A. Vasiliev

Unmanned network robotics is a new multidisciplinary field that involves many fields of computer networks, multi-agent systems, control theory, 5G and 6G Internet, computer security, and wireless quantum communications. Efficient conjugation of such technologies needs to design new data verification schemes for robotic agents using the advantages of quantum key distribution lines. For such schemes the joint use of known fuzzy logic parametrical -gates and discrete multiple-valued logic models simplifies the application of quantum quasi-random keys. Namely, the separate regulating parameter in -gates is the most convenient tool to use quantum keys in comparatively simple classical control and verification procedures that do not involve quantum logic gates.

Protected coding in optical line based on multiple-valued logic

A. L. Antipov, Alexey Yu. Bykovsky, Nikolay A. Vasiliev +1 more

Multiple-valued logic (MVL) formalism is shown to be an effective mean to work with secret keys and to check data modification in an optical data transfer channel. Such wireless data lines are needed for multiagent robotic systems including a group of mobile robots. In order to generate secret keys by means of open optical line one can choose beforehand an arbitrary MVL function, calculate its minimized logic term and afterwards calculate a huge number of different fragments of MVL function to realize secret MVL keys. The proposed method enlarges and complements the earlier proposed effective method of MVL secret coding tables for systems with high (more than 50) number of logic levels. Some problems of correct MVL function generation are discussed. MVL check functions method is also proposed to indicate data modification in messages. MVL non-quantum coding methods can be integrated with low-throughput quantum optics data channels for additional crypto protection.

Position-based cryptography by means of quantum and classical schemes, using multiple-valued logic computing

Alexey Yu. Bykovsky

Quantum and classical schemes of position-based cryprography are to transfer confidential message to an abonent with localised space position. Known verification proceedures are based on time-delay measurements of response signals and can`t provide unconditional security, as the eavesdropper can always cheat verifiers with the help of false signals. In order to raise the relative level of security, it is proposed to combine the quantum verification scheme by D.Unruh with multiple-valued logic methods.

Quantum cryptography and combined schemes of quantum cryptography communication networks

Alexey Yu. Bykovsky, Igor N. Kompanets

We discuss cryptographic data protection network schemes combining the approaches of quantum cryptography with advanced computer information processing methods. The use of the latter is due to the presence of a number of unsolved problems in the existing quantum key distribution systems and is also associated with projects for the development of network-centric quantum communications and photonic networks, which involves the employment of multi-agent control models. Developments based on the Y-00 protocol with data encoding by the quantum noise of a transmitting laser are considered, and achievements in the field of quantum-optical random number generators are presented. The latter can be also used to design secure multi-valued logic encoding schemes that are promising for increasing the dimension of the key space in the 'one-time pad' method, for solving the tasks of position-dependent cryptography and for implementing multi-agent models.
