A Resource-Efficient Quantum Key Distribution Protocol With Multi-User Access And Eavesdropping Detection For Quantum Networks

S.P. Sasirekha N.Saranya

In quantum networks, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and the related protocols are distributive to ensure security for end users. Also, attack detection, analyzing security vulnerabilities and performance reduction over high traffic are more challenging which is encountered at multi-user communication end. Existing approaches does not effectually overcome the above given challenges. This research proposed a novel approaches that merges conventional quantum multiple access approaches, QKD and improved security protocols for dealing these issues. Here, a novel Resource-Efficient Quantum Key Distribution (RE-QKD) for establishing communication security among diverse nodes and adopts the conventional quantum multiple accesses. It intends to offer higher speed and scalability during the communication process. Then, security is optimized with RE-QKD that relies on Quantum Access Network to optimize the queries from various end-users. The proposed RE-QKD is proposed to provide security towards the computing attacks and preventing the eavesdropping attack. The proposed model work efficiently and gives promising outcomes with its performance metrics. The proposed RE-QKD model attains 95% detection attack, 97% communication complexity, distributive key rate of 600b/s, 99% computational overhead and 97% communication efficiency. The simulation outcomes shows the reduction in communication complexity up-to 45% and improved detection accuracy which is superior compared to prevailing approaches. The proposed model helps in scalable development and quantum network with better security.

A new quantum key distribution resource allocation and routing optimization scheme

Lin Bi, Xiaotong 晓同 Yuan 袁, Weijie 炜杰 Wu 吴 +1 more

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a technology that can resist the threat of quantum computers to existing conventional cryptographic protocols. However, due to the stringent requirements of the quantum key generation environment, the generated quantum keys are considered valuable, and the slow key generation rate conflicts with the high-speed data transmission in traditional optical networks. In this paper, for the QKD network with a trusted relay, which is mainly based on point-to-point quantum keys and has complex changes in network resources, we aim to allocate resources reasonably for data packet distribution. Firstly, we formulate a linear programming constraint model for the key resource allocation (KRA) problem based on the time-slot scheduling. Secondly, we propose a new scheduling scheme based on the graded key security requirements (GKSR) and a new micro-log key storage algorithm for effective storage and management of key resources. Finally, we propose a key resource consumption (KRC) routing optimization algorithm to properly allocate time slots, routes, and key resources. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly improves the key distribution success rate and key resource utilization rate, among others.
