Description

Self-adaptive device for protecting strong light attack and calibration parameters of single photon detector
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a quantum communication field especially relates to a protection single photon detector highlight attacks and calibration parameter's self-adaptation device.
Background
With the continuous progress of quantum key communication, attack schemes are more and more, and the eyes of attackers do not focus on splitting or copying photon signals any more, but try to attack and control single-photon detectors carrying information directly. The attack scheme is that a single photon detector is sent with strong light to cause the single photon detector to be blinded: adding a strong direct current optical signal into a quantum communication channel to attack the single photon detector, so that the single photon detector cannot work in an avalanche state → cannot respond to the single photon signal → the output of the single photon detector circuit is controlled by a strong light pulse signal superposed on the direct current strong light signal. The detector blind attack is based on the difference between a Geiger working mode and a linear working mode of a single-photon detector, and the blind detector controls the basis vector selection of a receiving end.
If the attack is successful, the attacker can completely control the output of the single-photon detector. The attacker can then act as a sender to randomly "send data" to the receiver. The sender and the receiver can not find out the received data which is abnormal, and handshake and base pairing operations are carried out through the classical channel as well, so that an attacker can obtain almost all quantum key signals only by stealing the communication data of the classical channel.
The existing main detection method for the blind attack of the detector is to detect the strong light blind attack by constructing a measuring device irrelevant scheme, but the scheme needs two-photon interference, and the problem of low key rate generation rate of a protocol exists.
In another existing mode, a PIN photodiode is used to convert a strong light narrow pulse signal sent by an attacker into a narrow pulse current, a narrow pulse voltage is output, and a control chip judges whether the single photon detector is attacked by strong light or not according to a voltage value. However, the conventional PIN tube detection method has low sensitivity, poor linearity and poor accuracy, and cannot accurately measure the bias current value of an APD (Avalanche photodiode). In the prior art, the measurement accuracy is improved by additionally arranging a current detection circuit, but an APD (avalanche photo diode) bias current value is calculated according to a bias current fitting curve obtained by a current sensor, the judgment process is slow in the technical scheme of further judging whether the single-photon detector is attacked by strong light, and the problem that the dependence on the performance of the sensor on the bias current fitting curve is large exists in the scheme.

Further, it is right to combine specific use scene now the utility model discloses technical scheme carries out the detailed description:
the technical solution of the present invention is now described in detail with reference to specific embodiments, and the specific sampling component is illustrated by taking a resistor as an example, but may be other electronic components capable of recovering the purpose of sampling voltage.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 1a, fig. 1 and fig. 1a are circuit structure diagrams of a single photon detector strong light attack detection and protection circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the sampling voltage collecting component 8 is a sampling resistor R1.
Furthermore, in the technical scheme of the utility model; the voltage controller 6 may be a DAC chip.
Now, the circuit device provided by the present invention will be described in detail, and the circuit structure shown in fig. 1 and fig. 1a will be described first: the sampling voltage acquisition component 8 is a sampling resistor R1.
In the initial state: the controller 1 sends a control signal a to the voltage controller 6, causing the voltage control unit to output a voltage V-IN to the APD high voltage generator 7. The controller 1 sends a control signal B to the reference voltage control unit 2, and the reference voltage control unit 2 sets the value of the reference voltage Vref according to the control signal B and loads it to the IN + port of the comparator 3. The controller 1 outputs an OFF signal (OFF signal) to the APD high-voltage generator 7, the APD load circuit 4 is not operated, the sampling voltage Vc across the resistor R1 is 0V, Vref > Vc, and the output terminal of the comparator 3 outputs an APC-CTL signal at a high level to the APD, thereby turning on the APD high-voltage generator 7 (to be operated). For the circuit diagram shown in fig. 1, the controller 1 controls the light generator 9 to emit light source, the light source is attenuated after passing through the attenuation controller 10, the attenuated light source is input to the APD load circuit 4 to operate, during this period, the sampling resistor R1 collects the sampling voltage values corresponding to the light sources with different attenuation degrees uninterruptedly, and sends the sampling voltage values to the storage unit of the controller 1 through the comparator 3 to obtain the corresponding relation between different light sources and the sampling voltage, and the adjustment is realized through the control signal B when the reference voltage Vref needs to be adjusted. For the circuit diagram shown in fig. 1a, the corresponding relationship between each attenuation degree light source and the sampling voltage Vc is pre-stored in the memory unit of the controller 1, and is realized by the control signal B when the reference voltage Vref needs to be adjusted.
And (3) starting to work: after controller 1 sends the ON signal to APD high voltage generator 7 to enable and APD high voltage generator 7 receives V-IN, APD high voltage generator 7 outputs high voltage signal HV-OUT. After receiving the HV-OUT, the current detection device 5 outputs two paths of consistent voltage signals, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 1a, one path of the two paths of voltage signals is used to provide a high voltage signal to the APD load circuit 4 to enable the APD load circuit to operate normally, and the other path recovers the sampling voltage Vc through the sampling component R1 and sends the sampling voltage Vc to the other input end IN-of the comparator 3.
When the single photon detector (APD load circuit 4) normally works: the comparator 3 compares the sampling voltage Vc with the reference voltage Vref, and when Vref > Vc, the comparator 3 outputs an APD-CTL signal of high level to the APD high voltage generator 7.
In detail, in normal operation, Vc < Vref, I1 flowing through the APD load circuit 4 is small, and I2 flowing through the sampling component R1 is also small, where I2= β I1 and Vc = I2 × R1. Wherein β is a fixed parameter (any decimal) of 0 to 1, preferably β = 0.1.
When the APD of the single photon detector is attacked by strong light: i1 rises rapidly, I2 rises rapidly in synchronization with the above formula, and Vc = I2 × R1> Vref at this time. At the moment, the comparator 3 outputs the low-level APD-CTL to the APD high-voltage generator 7, the APD high-voltage generator 7 is closed, and HV-OUT is 0V, so that the HV-APD loaded on the APD load circuit 4 disappears, the APD of the single-photon detector is immediately turned off, and the protection of the APD of the single-photon detector is realized. Meanwhile, the comparator 3 can also output strong light alarm information to the controller 1 for detecting strong light attack in the single photon detector. Wherein the turn-off response time is less than 100 picoseconds (ps). When I1 produces a slight fluctuation, the comparator 3 also sends a strong light attack warning to the controller 1, at which time the controller 1 judges that it is not under strong light attack, and sends a control signal B to the reference voltage control unit to adjust the current reference voltage Vref.
The circuit diagram shown in fig. 2 will now be explained: fig. 2 replaces the reference voltage control unit 6 in fig. 1 with pre-configured resistors R3, R4 for the purpose of inputting a pre-configured reference voltage Vref to the comparator 3. Compared with the first embodiment, the scheme provided by the embodiment simplifies the circuit design, and reduces the cost. When the controller 1 is attacked by strong light, the comparator 3 outputs a low level signal to turn off the APD high voltage generator 7, and sends a strong light attack warning signal to the APD high voltage generator.
The circuit diagram shown in fig. 3 and 3a will now be described, specifically: in this figure, the voltage acquisition component 8 is a feedback link: the ADC analog-to-digital conversion circuit 81 is composed of a resistor R1.
In the initial state: the controller 1 sends a control signal a to the voltage control unit, causing the voltage control unit to output a voltage V-IN to the APD high voltage generator 7. The controller 1 sends a control signal B to the reference voltage control unit 2, and the reference voltage control unit 2 sets the value of the initial reference voltage Vref1 according to the control signal B and loads it to the IN + port of the comparator 3. Initially, the Vref1 voltage is set to a maximum value to ensure that the APD-CTL signal received by APD high voltage generator 7 is valid at all times. The controller 3 outputs an OFF signal (OFF signal) to the APD high-voltage generator 7, the APD load circuit 4 is not operated, the sampling voltage Vc across the resistor R1 is 0V, Vref > Vc, and the output terminal of the comparator 3 outputs an APC-CTL signal at a high level to the APD high-voltage generator 7, thereby turning on the APD high-voltage generator 7 (to be operated). For the circuit diagram shown in fig. 3, the controller 1 controls the light generator 9 to emit light source, the light source is attenuated after passing through the attenuation controller 10, the attenuated light source is input to the APD load circuit 4 to operate, during this period, the sampling resistor R1 collects the sampling voltage values corresponding to the light sources with different attenuation degrees uninterruptedly, and sends the sampling voltage values to the storage unit of the controller 1 through the ADC analog-to-digital conversion circuit 81 to obtain the corresponding relationship between different light sources and sampling voltages for subsequent calling, and the reference voltage Vref is adjusted by the control signal B. For the circuit diagram shown in fig. 3a, the controller 1 sends a control signal B to the reference voltage control unit to adjust the reference voltage Vref according to the information contained in the control signal C collected and fed back in real time by the real-time sampling resistor R1 and the ADC analog-to-digital conversion circuit 81.
And (3) starting to work: after controller 1 sends the ON signal to APD high voltage generator 7 to enable and APD high voltage generator 7 receives V-IN, APD high voltage generator 7 outputs high voltage signal HV-OUT. After receiving the HV-OUT, the current detection device 5 outputs two paths of consistent voltage signals, referring to fig. 3, one path of the two paths of voltage signals is used for providing a high voltage signal to the APD load circuit 4 to enable the APD load circuit to work normally, and the other path recovers the sampling voltage Vc through the sampling component R1 and sends the sampling voltage Vc to the other input end IN-of the comparator.
When the single photon detector normally works: the comparator compares the sampling voltage Vc with the reference voltage Vref, when Vref > Vc, the comparator outputs a high-level APD-CTL signal to the APD high-voltage generator 7. The controller 1 reads the current sample voltage Vc1 in R1 according to the control signal C sent by the ADC analog-to-digital conversion circuit 81. In detail, Vc1 is a voltage value of the single photon detector that normally works in the actual system operation, and its value is related to the actual fiber link distance, and the longer the link, the smaller Vc 1.
Further, when the optical fiber device is redeployed and the distance of the optical fiber link changes, the prior art can only match the reference voltage and the sampling voltage again in a continuous test mode, the time consumption is long in the process, the matching is easy to be inaccurate, and the following modes are provided in the application:
when the link distance becomes longer: the controller 1 sends a control signal B for setting Vref2 in accordance with the received control signal C. The control signal B instructs the reference voltage control unit 2 to adjust Vref1 to a voltage of Verf2, Vref2 is applied to the input terminal IN + of the comparator 3, Vref2= Vc1+ a0mV, and a0 is a negative number.
Thereby solving the following problems: the difference value between the initial reference voltage and the sampling voltage is gradually increased due to the fact that the optical fiber link is shortened and lengthened, and the single photon detector is attacked by strong light in the deployment process and cannot detect the strong light (the reference voltage is larger than the attack light is larger than the sampling voltage). The strong light attack detection is realized according to the distance self-adaption of the optical fiber link of the single-photon detector in practical application.
When the fiber link distance becomes short: during this deployment, the ADC analog-to-digital conversion circuit 81 continuously receives the current sampling voltage, and the controller 1 sends a control signal B for setting Vref3 according to the received control signal C. The control signal B instructs the reference voltage control unit 2 to adjust Vref1 to a voltage of Verf3, and Vref3 is applied to the input terminal IN + of the comparator 3, where Vref3= Vc1+ a0mV and a0 is a positive number.
Further, after the optical fiber equipment is deployed, the single photon detector works normally, Vref > Vc, I1 flowing through an APD load circuit is small, and I2 flowing through a sampling assembly R1 is also small, wherein I2= beta I1, and Vc = I2 multiplied by R1. Wherein beta is a fixed parameter of 0-1, and preferably beta = 0.1.
When the single photon detector is attacked by strong light: i1 rises rapidly, I2 rises rapidly in synchronization with the above formula, and Vc = I2 × R1> Vref at this time. At this time, the comparator 3 outputs an APD-CTL signal with a low level to the APD high-voltage generator 7, the APD high-voltage generator 7 is turned off, and the HV-OUT output is 0V, so that the HV-APD loaded on the APD load circuit 4 disappears, the APD of the single-photon detector is turned off, and the protection of the APD of the single-photon detector is realized. Meanwhile, the comparator 3 can also output strong light warning information to the controller 1, and the controller 1 records strong light attack according to the warning information to realize strong light attack detection in the single photon detector.
When the circuits shown in fig. 1 and 3 are attacked by strong light, the reference voltage control unit 2 can also adjust the reference voltage according to the corresponding relationship between the sampling voltage value stored in the storage unit of the controller 1 and the light source.
The circuit device shown in fig. 3 realizes optimization of the strong light attack detection circuit, and not only adopts the ADC analog-to-digital conversion circuit to directly sample the voltage in the R1 sampling component, but also reads the sampling value of the ADC analog-to-digital conversion module through the control signal C, thereby realizing the purpose of adjusting the reference voltage value through adaptive optical fiber link change, and also realizing the purpose of detecting and protecting the strong light attack of the single photon detector.
Specifically, a flow chart is used to describe the situation that the APD is attacked by strong light in the circuits shown in fig. 1 to 3a, as shown in fig. 4:
step 101, the controller makes the voltage control unit output a voltage V-IN.
And 102, setting a reference voltage value.
In step 103, the comparator outputs the APC-CTL signal of high level.
Specifically, for the circuits IN fig. 1, 1a, 3 and 3a, the reference voltage control unit 2 sets the reference voltage value according to the control signal B and loads it to the IN + port of the comparator 3, while the APD load circuit 4 is not operating, and the comparator 3 outputs the APC-CTL signal at a high level. For the circuit of fig. 2, the IN + port of the comparator 3 receives a preconfigured reference voltage, the APD load circuit 4 is not operating, and thus the comparator 3 outputs an APC-CTL signal at a high level.
And step 104, the APD high-voltage generator is in a standby working state.
At this time, the enable terminal of the APD high voltage generator 7 receives the OFF signal (OFF) transmitted by the controller 1.
Step 105, the APD high voltage generator starts to operate. The control unit sends an ON signal to the APD high voltage generator.
And 106, outputting a high-voltage signal by the APD high-voltage generator.
And step 107, outputting a high-voltage signal for the APD load circuit to work and a high-voltage signal for recovering the sampling voltage by the current detection device.
And step 108, recovering the sampling voltage by the sampling resistor R1 and sending the sampling voltage to the comparator.
Step 109, the comparator determines whether the reference voltage is greater than the sampling voltage, if so, step 110 is executed, otherwise, step 111 is executed.
Step 110, the APD load circuit continues to operate.
And step 111, turning off the APD high-voltage generator, and stopping the APD load circuit.
Meanwhile, the comparator 3 outputs strong light warning information to the controller 1 for detecting strong light attack in the single photon detector.
