Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of quantum secret communication, and particularly relates to a vulnerability detection method and device for a quantum secret communication system calibration process.
Background
Nowadays, public key cryptography in cryptography is widely used because of the easy generation and distribution of key pairs. However, it should be noted that the security of public key cryptography algorithms is based on non-provable computational assumptions, which merely consider that under the current computing power, it is highly likely that it cannot be broken. However, the computational complexity assumption is not a solid security foundation that can be relied upon permanently. Several cryptosystems known in the prior public key cryptosystem such as RSA, rabin, ELGamal are based on two more difficult mathematical problems, a large prime number decomposition problem and a solution to discrete logarithm problem. However, after the Shor algorithm in 1996, these difficult-to-crack problems may be cracked by quantum computers in the future. Therefore, the classical cryptographic system based on mathematical calculation assumption is replaced by the quantum cryptographic technology based on the basic physical principle of quantum mechanics, and becomes an important strategic measure.
The most typical quantum cryptography is quantum key distribution (Quantum Key Distribution, QKD), which is a "quantum key distribution" BB84 protocol based on quantum mechanics measurement principles, which fundamentally ensures the security of the key. QKD protocols in optical systems transport information through four quantum states. It solves an important problem that is difficult to solve in classical cryptography: the symmetric key pair is securely distributed over an unsecure channel to both legitimate communication parties. The QKD utilizes the unclonable principle of quantum physics to ensure that a key taking a quantum state as a carrier is unconditionally and safely distributed to legal users on an unsafe channel, and combines an unconditionally and safely one-time pad encryption algorithm to ensure unconditionally and safely transmission of information. QKD has been rapidly developed in its full scale because of its remarkable advantages in terms of security over classical cryptography, making it attractive for quantum information technology leather. With the continuous development of quantum cryptography, researchers find that many differences exist between theory and practice in the experimental and practical processes. In particular, this is due to the inclusion in the security certificate of a series of assumptions that the quantum cryptography system needs to meet and an abstract mathematical model of the actual device, however these assumptions and models are likely to be mismatched with the actual device. For example, some security assumptions are not met in practice; or the model may not fully describe a true QKD device. In the standard preparation-measurement QKD system architecture, it is assumed that an eavesdropper (Eve) is able to access the quantum channel only with permission, but cannot enter the preparation and emission party (Alice) and the quantum state receiving and detection party (Bob) of the quantum state. In practice Eve can steal keys through quantum channels and exploiting security holes of the system.
Since the advent of prototype systems developed according to QKD protocols, quantum hackers began to exploit possible vulnerabilities at both the quantum information sender and receiver. For these prototype systems, there are several relatively well-known attack patterns: photon number splitting attack (Photon-number splitting attack), time-shift attack (Time-shift attack), blind attack (imaging attack), etc. Meanwhile, due to the significant advantages of QKD over classical cryptography in terms of security, commercial QKD systems based on various QKD protocols and coding schemes are also continually being developed. Commercial QKD systems are also being shielded against the aforementioned attacks. Nevertheless, quantum hackers can still mine some unknown security vulnerabilities in these commercial QKD systems. Holes in the QKD system calibration phase have been continuously discovered in recent years. In the commercialization of QKD systems, a series of calibration steps are typically performed prior to the actual key distribution in order to ensure the stability of the overall key distribution process. The calibration stage can enable all instruments of the system to reach proper working states, and system parameters are set to reasonable values. In general, the calibration phase of a commercial QKD system typically includes steps such as time-lapse scanning, polarization feedback, synchronization correction, and the like. The existence of a commercial QKD system calibration process plays a critical role, but also provides some discoverable vulnerability for an attacker. An attacker can use the irrational principle of operation of certain stages in the calibration process, and by changing the intensity, the phase, the polarization state and the like of the signal light transmitted to Bob, the error of instrument and various parameter settings is possible, thereby influencing the security in the follow-up formal key distribution process.

In the above step C), the duty ratio of the prepared signal light processing signal should be adjusted according to the actual error of the attack device, and is ideally 50%.
In the above step C), the high and low levels of the prepared signal light processing signals should be modulated according to the signal light processing mode.
In the above-mentioned D), about half of the signal light after the processing should be delayed.
In the above-mentioned step D), if there is an error in the polarization state of the processed signal light, the signal light should be corrected.
In the above, F), if any one of the detectors selects a different gate signal loading position than in the normal operation, it is considered that a leak exists in the delay scanning step in the calibration process of the QKD system, and if the leak does not exist, the whole steps a) to F) are repeated. If the vulnerability is still not present after X repetitions, then the delay scanning step in the QKD system calibration phase is deemed to be vulnerability free.
