实用量子密码的安全性

Security Aspects of Practical Quantum Cryptography

Gilles Brassard, Norbert Lütkenhaus, Tal Mor, Barry C. Sanders

摘要:

量子比特在密码学中的使用为安全的密码量子密钥分发方案带来了希望。不幸的是,实现的方案可能是完全不安全的。我们提供了一个彻底的调查实际的量子密钥分发的安全问题,考虑到信道损耗,一个现实的检测过程,和修改的“量子比特”从发送方发送到接收方。我们首先表明,即使量子密钥分发完美的量子比特不能实现在长距离时,固定的信道损耗和固定的暗计数错误考虑。然后,我们表明,现有的实验方案(基于“弱脉冲”)通常是完全不安全的。最后,我们表明,参数下变频提供了增强的性能相比,其弱相干脉冲对应。

英文摘要:

The use of quantum bits (qubits) in cryptography holds the promise of secure cryptographic quantum key distribution schemes. Unfortunately, the implemented schemes can be totally insecure. We provide a thorough investigation of security issues for practical quantum key distribution, taking into account channel losses, a realistic detection process, and modifications of the ``qubits'' sent from the sender to the receiver. We first show that even quantum key distribution with perfect qubits cannot be achieved over long distances when fixed channel losses and fixed dark count errors are taken into account. Then we show that existing experimental schemes (based on ``weak-pulse'') are usually totally insecure. Finally we show that parametric downconversion offers enhanced performance compared to its weak coherent pulse counterpart.
