  • 양자 암호통신에서는 키를 실시간으로 안전하게 분배하는 양자 키 분배방식이 핵심이다. 본 논문에서는 양자 키 분배 방식인 BB84 protocol 과 B92 protocol 을 python 으로 구현(이를 Lee's code 라 명명)한다. 기존에 존재하는 양자 simulator 와 LEE's code 를 이용해 error rate 의 차이를 두 가지 관점(기저에 따른 차이, 도청률에 따른 차이)에서 비교한다. 이를 바탕으로 어떤 protocol 이 도청자로부터 더 취약한지 알아본 결과, B92 protocol 의 QBER 이 항상 높으므로 도청자를 잡아내기는 쉽지만, 기저가 두 가지 밖에 없으므로 도청자의 공격에는 취약함을 알 수 있다.

  • This paper introduces the concept of a random universal hash function to amplify security in a quantum key distribution system. It seems to provide security amplification using the relationship between quantum error correction and security. In addition, the approach in terms of security amplification shows that phase error correction offers better security. We explain how the universal hash function enhances security using the BB84 protocol, which is a typical example of QKD(Quantum Key Distribution). Finally, we show that the BB84 protocol using random privacy amplification is safe at higher key rates than Mayers' performance at the same error rate.

  • Classical cryptography with complex computations has recently been utilized in the latest computing systems to create secret keys. However, systems can be breached by fast-measuring methods of the secret key; this approach does not offer adequate protection when depending on the computational complexity alone. The laws of physics for communication purposes are used in quantum computing, enabling new computing concepts to be introduced, particularly in cryptography and key distribution. This paper proposes a quantum computing lattice (CQL) mechanism that applies the BB84 protocol to generate a quantum key. The generated key and a one-time pad encryption method are used to encrypt the message. Then Babai's algorithm is applied to the ciphertext to find the closet vector problem within the lattice. As a result, quantum computing concepts are used with classical encryption methods to find the closet vector problem in a lattice, providing strength encryption to generate the key. The proposed approach is demonstrated a high calculation speed when using quantum computing.

  • In this paper, we would like to introduce the basic concepts of quantum key distribution techniques so far and the problems that need to be technically advanced. Quantum key distribution technology is a technology that generates non-tapable encryption keys and distributes them to both sender and receiver using the characteristics of Quantum, which is the minimum unit of physical quantity that can no longer be split. We would like to introduce BB84 protocol, a representative protocol of this technology, to explore realistic difficulties and future challenges.

  • This paper introduces the concept of random security amplification to amplify security in a quantum key distribution system. It seems to provide security amplification using the relationship between quantum error correction and security. In addition;we show that random security amplification in terms of security amplification offers better security than using existing universal hash function. We explain how the universal hash function enhances security using the BB84 protocol, which is a typical example of QKD. Finally, the proposed random security amplification and the conventional scheme compare the security according to the key generation rate in the quantum QKD.

  • This paper introduces the concept of a dual hash function to amplify security in a quantum key distribution system. We show the use of the relationship between quantum error correction and security to provide security amplification. Also, in terms of security amplification, the approach shows that phase error correction offers better security. We describe the process of enhancing security using the universal hash function using the BB84 protocol, which is a typical example of QKD. Finally, the deterministic universal hash function induces the security to be evaluated in the quantum Pauli channel without depending on the length of the message.
