Background
The quantum communication technology is a communication technology capable of realizing information safety transmission from the perspective of a communication link, and essentially realizes information interaction through quantum state synchronous sharing of a remote user; an attacker cannot predict quantum state information before measurement, separate quantum states or repeatedly etch quantum states after measurement, and any interference on a communication link (whether from attack behaviors with eavesdropping motivation or from irresistible force influence) destroys a quantum state synchronous sharing mechanism of a remote user to cause perception of both communication parties.
The most mature quantum communication technology at the present stage is a quantum secret communication technology, and plaintext information encryption and decryption operations are mainly realized through quantum key distribution. The quantum secret communication system usually adopts a point-to-point working mode, has certain networking capability, but has a larger distance from large-scale engineering practicality, and the main reasons include: quantum key distribution requires independent quantum channels (e.g., passive fibers); the quantum key distribution rate is usually far lower than the classical communication rate, and the one-time pad working mode can only support low-speed transmission; the quantum key distribution system is not compatible with the existing network relay routing equipment.
Disclosure of Invention
Against the background, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to realize synchronous sharing of quantum bits of remote users (directly connected routers) through a quantum key distribution system; the router monitors the quantum bit error rate of all the connected communication links in real time, the safety of the communication links is quantitatively measured through actually measured values of the quantum bit error rate, and particularly, when the quantum bit error rate is higher than a threshold value, the communication links are considered to be completely unsafe (namely attacked); the router advertises the formed path cost containing link security weight to the whole network router or gathers the path cost in a whole network routing control center; the whole network router or the route control center forms a route configuration strategy containing link safety attributes according to bandwidth overhead, a path and safety weight, and the bypassing avoidance of safety critical information on hidden danger links is realized depending on the robustness of a communication network.
In order to achieve the effect, the invention provides a routing configuration method based on quantum error code link monitoring, which is characterized in that a plurality of different users establish remote connection through a communication link in which quantum signals and communication signals are transmitted in parallel, and remotely and synchronously share quantum bits; one user realizes real-time monitoring of the communication link by taking the quantum bit error rate as a physical quantity, and the measured results are the same as the link safety path cost which can be quantitatively evaluated; and incorporating the link security path cost advertisement into a routing configuration strategy through the minimum path cost routing configuration.
Preferably, the number of the different users is two, and the two users can measure the error rate of the qubits and obtain an effective qubit sequence by negotiation interaction and information post-processing.
Preferably, the above-mentioned quantum signal and communication signal parallel fiber transmission mechanism is implemented by a wavelength division multiplexing system, or implemented by a mode division multiplexing system, a time division multiplexing system, or a polarization division multiplexing system, and the implemented features are: the classical signal and the quantum signal work in different wave bands, the crosstalk between the classical signal and the quantum signal is low, the nonlinear effect which obviously influences the transmission of the quantum signal does not occur, and the classical signal and the quantum signal can be effectively separated.
Preferably, the link security path overhead can be measured by a ratio of a measured value of the quantum bit error rate to a theoretical value, and meanwhile, when the quantum bit error rate is higher than a threshold (usually depending on a quantum key distribution protocol), a path overhead value capable of indicating link disconnection is taken; and (3) carrying out routing configuration by taking the link security path overhead as a reference, or converting the quantum bit error rate into a quantitative parameter and formulating a routing configuration strategy according to the quantitative parameter.
Preferably, the minimum path cost route configuration avoids all the links determined to be invaded through information route forwarding, and selects the link security path cost and the minimum path as the best route if a plurality of selectable routes exist.
Preferably, the minimum path cost routing configuration may balance the link security path cost and the traditional path cost, or reasonably configure the routing by combining the factors such as the transmission distance, bandwidth allocation, and traffic distribution of each link.
Preferably, the link security path overhead notification whole network process is realized by notifying whole network routers or summarizing the whole network router in a whole network routing control center, and the routing algorithm can be independently operated in each router or can be uniformly operated in the whole network routing control center.
Preferably, the routing configuration policy may be advertised and implemented by each router or uniformly implemented by a routing control center of the whole network, and the data format, manual or automatic configuration mode, and the structure, interface type, forwarding mode, networking mode, etc. of the routing configuration policy are not limited.
A system for implementing the above routing configuration method based on quantum error code link monitoring includes:
the remote connection establishing unit is used for establishing remote connection among a plurality of different users through a communication link in which quantum signals and communication signals are transmitted in parallel and synchronously sharing quantum bits remotely;
the link safety path overhead evaluation unit is used for realizing the real-time monitoring of the communication link by a user by taking the quantum bit error rate as a physical quantity and unifying the actual measurement results into the link safety path overhead which can be quantitatively evaluated;

Compared with the quantum secret communication technology, the scheme of the invention also has the following advantages:
(1) only the deviation of the quantum bit error rate and a theoretical value (the working performance degradation of a communication link) is concerned, and whether the deviation is higher than a threshold value (the link intrusion) is not required, the quantum bit rate is not required to be higher, which is different from the working mode that quantum secret communication needs to be carried out in compromise between a higher communication rate and a longer transmission distance, namely, the transmission distance can be increased as much as possible on the basis that the quantum bit error rate is higher than the threshold value;
(2) thanks to the whole network notification mechanism, a single communication link only needs to monitor the one-way quantum bit error rate (without the need of providing identical quantum transceiver devices at two ends of the link), and meanwhile, the classical signal and quantum signal fiber-combining transmission mechanism ensures the direct reflection of the quantum bit error rate on the link security;
(3) the technical scheme of the invention has higher tolerance on the transmission stability of the quantum bit, the great increase of the bit error rate of the quantum bit can be considered as the working performance degradation of a communication link, but the network performance can not be greatly influenced before the intrusion is judged to exceed the threshold value or the forwarding strategy is changed according to the path overhead;
(4) for communication networks with different topologies, the routing configuration technology of the invention can ensure different link security levels, and can cut off all invaded communication links under extreme conditions without causing physical isolation among any users in the whole network, so that the invention can realize security guarantee (bandwidth is possibly influenced) from the angle of the links in the whole network.

The invention also provides an embodiment of a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored which, when being executed by a processor, carries out the steps of the above-mentioned method.
As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides an embodiment of a router (interface) with a function of quantum error monitoring, in which a classical signal modulated in an X band and a quantum signal modulated in a Y band are combined and co-transmitted to an input end of the router (interface) via a Wavelength-division multiplexer (WDM).
The X band and the Y band need to satisfy the following conditions:
(1) the X wave band and the Y wave band are not overlapped on the spectrum;
(2) various nonlinear effects of the X wave band such as stimulated Raman scattering and four-wave mixing can not generate serious influence on the Y wave band quantum signal;
(3) the transmission loss of the X wave band and the Y wave band in the single-mode optical fiber is possibly small;
(4) the X-band channels of WDM have a higher isolation to the Y-band and vice versa;
(5) cross-talk between the X-band and the Y-band can be negligible.
The routers (interfaces) shown in the figure receive and separate both classical and quantum signals from within the fiber simultaneously via WDM; the classical signals are detected by a classical communication detector, the obtained data information is input into a cache, and the traditional path overhead is analyzed from a logic level (bandwidth flow and distance delay); detecting the quantum signal by a single-photon detector, acquiring a measured quantum bit error rate value (through negotiation), and comparing the measured quantum bit error rate value with a theoretical quantum bit error rate value (directly related to the length of the optical fiber link) to form link safety path cost; the traditional path cost and the link safety path cost are simultaneously input into a routing algorithm to form comprehensive path cost and inform the whole network through a classical channel; the data output from the buffer is also forwarded to the next hop device through the classical channel. It should be noted that the classical communication detector, the cache, the routing algorithm using the traditional path overhead as the input quantity, the classical signal sending end and other parts in the graph are the components of the traditional router (interface); the single photon detector, a routing algorithm taking the link safety path overhead (quantum bit error rate calculation result) as an input quantity and a quantum signal transmitting end form a quantum error code link monitoring system; in addition to sharing fibre channel, routing algorithms and other necessary interface devices, the classical and quantum signal flows can be viewed as running independently, which is completely different from the classical-quantum signal encryption and decryption process in quantum secure communication systems.
As shown in fig. 2, the present invention discloses a routing configuration embodiment based on quantum error code link monitoring, wherein a host at the lower left corner wants to establish a session with a host at the upper right corner, and needs to pass through a grid communication network composed of routers and having three horizontal and three vertical directions; black numbers in the figure represent traditional path cost of each link, two hosts establish connection relationship through five routers (3,1) - (3,2) - (2,2) - (1,2) - (1,3) according to the principle of lowest path cost, and the sum of the traditional path cost is 5; the figures show the link security path cost numerically, the numerical value is inversely related to the degradation degree of the quantum bit error rate, namely the closer the quantum bit error rate is to a theoretical value, the smaller the link security path cost value is, and the quantum bit error rate is higher than a threshold value, the link is judged to be attacked, the broken circuit mark is adopted at the moment, according to the principle of the lowest link security path cost, the two hosts establish a connection relationship through five routers (3,1) - (2,1) - (1,1) - (1,2) - (1,3), and at the moment, the sum of the link security path cost is 5 and the sum of the traditional path cost is 10; if the traditional path cost and the link safety path cost need to be considered comprehensively, the optimal routing route is (3,1) - (3,2) - (3,3) - (2,3) - (1,3), and the sum of the link safety path costs is 6, and the sum of the traditional path costs is 7. FIG. 2 shows only the simplest case, where the minimum of the algebraic sum (not the weighted sum) of the conventional path cost and the link security path cost is the routing configuration criterion; in practical application, factors such as transmission distance of each link, bandwidth allocation, traffic distribution and the like need to be considered.
The invention discloses an embodiment, firstly, a quantum bit module (quantum bit sending or quantum bit receiving) is installed in a local router with an optical module (light emitting and light receiving), and is integrated with the optical module into a same interface through a wavelength division multiplexing system, so that the crosstalk between a quantum signal working waveband and a classical (light) signal working waveband is ensured to be low; secondly, a neighboring router in single-hop connection with the local router negotiates a quantum signal transceiving rule with the local router, and for a specific communication link (here, a communication optical fiber), the local router serves as a quantum bit sending end or a quantum bit receiving end; thirdly, the local router calculates a quantum bit error rate theoretical value for the communication link of the receiving end bearing the quantum bit according to the quantum bit coding type (namely quantum key distribution protocol), the communication link loss (optical fiber distance), the working frequency of the quantum light source and the single photon detector and other factors, monitors the measured value and compares the measured value with the theoretical value to form a link safety path overhead quantization value (or a fusing value); and finally, the local router informs the whole network router of the real-time calculation result of the link safety path cost of the quantum bit receiving end born by the local router or gathers the calculation result in a whole network routing control center to form various routing configuration strategies and complete routing configuration considering both bandwidth performance and safety performance.
The invention provides another simple embodiment, a routing configuration technology based on quantum error code link monitoring, wherein a remote user (a direct-connected router) shares a quantum bit, one party uses the quantum bit error rate as a physical quantity to realize real-time monitoring of a communication link, and uses the measured result as the same link safety path overhead which can be quantitatively evaluated (when the measured result is higher than a threshold value, the link safety path overhead is infinitely large), the traditional minimum path overhead routing configuration thought is used for reference, the link safety path overhead is incorporated into a routing configuration strategy, the bypassing avoidance of safety critical links by safety cut-off information is realized depending on the robustness of a communication network, and important reference is provided for a large-scale practical safe and reliable communication network.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following remarkable effects:
firstly, the method is mainly applied to a physical layer of a communication network, an attacker can acquire logic information and perform subsequent (deciphering) operation only by carrying out waveform inverse transformation after intercepting a communication signal from a channel, and the difficulty of eavesdropping plaintext information by the attacker is greatly increased;
secondly, the invention can realize the synchronous sharing of the transformed waveforms of both communication parties through the synchronous sharing of the quantum true random number, the digital qubit can realize the hidden transmission of tens (or higher) data bits, the higher the complexity of the interference waveform, the longer the duration, the larger the data volume which can be hidden by a single interference waveform, and the lower the requirement on the quantum bit rate, in other words, the larger the safe communication data volume which can be supported by a fixed rate quantum distribution system;
thirdly, the shared waveform library comprises but is not limited to discrete signal waveforms, sine and cosine waveforms of various frequencies, triangular waveforms/square waveforms/sawtooth waveforms and other various irregular waveforms and superposition shapes of the waveforms, and the waveform sharing rule comprises but is not limited to one-to-one mapping (a single waveform is selected according to a fixed-length quantum bit serial number), one-to-many mapping (a plurality of waveforms are selected according to a fixed-length quantum bit serial number for weighted superposition), and the like, and theoretically has infinite complex compiling capability;
finally, the safe communication scheme of the invention can be operated together with various passwords, namely, the information input into the safe communication system can ensure that plaintext information can also be ciphertext information.
