量子密码学的黑纸:真正的实现问题

The black paper of quantum cryptography: real implementation problems

Valerio Scarani, Christian Kurtsiefer

摘要:

物理定律在量子密钥分发(QKD)的安全性中起着至关重要的作用。这一事实经常被误解为QKD的安全性仅基于物理定律。正如专家们所知,事情更加微妙。我们回顾了实际QKD的进展,重点是(I)密钥分发的经典和量子实现所共有的信任元素;以及(II)最近强调的一些安全威胁,其中没有一个是不可挽回的(即,原则上可以使QKD安全)。这让我们猜测,这个领域,类似于非量子的现代密码学,将朝着两个方向分裂:那些追求实用设备的人可能不得不缓和他们的安全要求;那些追求终极安全的人可能不得不暂停他们的有用性要求。

英文摘要:

The laws of physics play a crucial role in the security of quantum key distribution (QKD). This fact has often been misunderstood as if the security of QKD would be based only on the laws of physics. As the experts know well, things are more subtle. We review the progresses in practical QKD focusing on (I) the elements of trust that are common to classical and quantum implementations of key distribution; and (II) some threats to security that have been highlighted recently, none of which is unredeemable (i.e., in principle QKD can be made secure). This leads us to guess that the field, similar to non-quantum modern cryptography, is going to split in two directions: those who pursue practical devices may have to moderate their security claims; those who pursue ultimate security may have to suspend their claims of usefulness.
