Description

Secret key management dynamic route generation network architecture for quantum communication
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a quantum communication and collar key management field, concretely relates to quantum communication's key management dynamic routing generates network architecture.
Background
With the rapid development of information technology and the rise and popularization of the internet, information plays an increasingly important role in daily life and work, and mass information is transmitted in a communication network at all times. Due to the openness of the internet and the great advantage of western developed countries in the field of information counting, eavesdroppers can intercept communication data by technical means.
In order to ensure the security of information during transmission, a sender usually uses an encryption algorithm and an encryption key to perform encryption operation on information to be transmitted, converts a plaintext with definite meaning into a meaningless ciphertext, then sends the ciphertext to a receiver through a communication network, the receiver receives the ciphertext and restores the ciphertext into the plaintext through a decryption algorithm and a decryption key, and the process is secret communication, such as a secret communication system model shown in fig. 4.
The security of the secure communication depends on the security of the cryptographic algorithm and the key. Key algorithms are generally classified into two broad categories, public key cryptography and private key cryptography.
Recently developed quantum computers utilize the superposition characteristics of quantum states and the parallelism of quantum operations. The powerful parallel computing power of quantum computers poses a serious threat to public key cryptography algorithms. This means that once a quantum computer is physically implemented, technical support is provided for cracking the RSA cipher.
Quantum communication is a novel interdisciplinary subject developed in recent years, and is a new field combining quantum theory and information theory. Fig. 3 is a quantum communication system model.
Quantum communication takes photons or entangled photon pairs as a physical carrier of communication, takes the polarization, phase and other quantum attributes of the photons as information encoding objects, realizes safe Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) between two communication parties, and utilizes a one-time pad password to realize safe secret communication on the basis.
The quantum communication process can be divided into quantum key distribution and secret communication.
The security of quantum key distribution comes from the basic principles of quantum mechanics, including Heisenberg uncertainty principle, quantum unclonable law, measurement collapse theory, and the like.
The quantum key distribution solves the problem of real-time key distribution, and lays a good foundation for the application of one-time pad passwords. The quantum communication taking quantum key distribution and 'one-time pad' as the core not only meets the demands of today, but also can ensure the secret communication of the quantum computer era in the future.
Due to the importance of secret communication in national security and national economy, once the concept of quantum communication is put forward, the quantum communication is widely concerned. Under the subsidy of governments of various countries, global scientific research institutions vigorously develop theories and experimental researches of quantum communication, and greatly promote the vigorous development of the quantum communication industry.
The quantum relay can realize relay transmission of quantum signals, and can effectively prolong the transmission distance of quantum communication.
The trusted relay scheme is a scheme for extending the transmission distance of quantum communication.
The trusted relay means that a secret key is firstly established between two communication parties and an intermediate node which is considered to be safe, and then the secret key is shared between the two communication parties through a secret key encryption transmission mode. Therefore, a user can divide a long-distance quantum communication link into a plurality of small segments, the end point of each segment is a credible relay, a secret key is generated between two adjacent end points through a quantum secret key distribution technology, the secret key is transmitted segment by utilizing one-time pad and safety identity authentication, and finally the transmission of the secret key from one end of the link to the other end is realized. Alice firstly performs quantum key distribution before the trusted relay 1, shares a group of keys K1, the trusted relay 1 performs quantum key distribution with the trusted relay 2, shares a group of keys K2, the trusted relay 2 performs quantum key distribution with Bob, and shares a group of keys K3, where K1, K2, and K3 have the same length, so if Alice wants to send a group of keys K1 or information M to Bob, K or M can be encrypted with K1, and it is safe and trusted to transmit to the trusted relay 2 first, which can ensure the safety of the whole transmission process. On the basis of the method, a communication link consisting of N credible relays can be easily expanded. Trusted relaying requires that the relay point must be secure and trusted.
The trusted relay node is a base station which can perform classical communication and quantum communication with peripheral users, namely Alice or Bob, and the base station comprises classical network communication equipment and quantum communication equipment, can perform key distribution, key sharing and key management with users, and can perform classical network communication with a KMS (KMS). The processing of computer networks, which has a great influence on the interconnection quality of the networks, is mainly determined by routers in terms of technical processing. In terms of routing technology, there are two basic activities, one is how to select the optimal path, and the other is how to transmit the data packet.
The processing of computer networks, which has a great influence on the interconnection quality of the networks, is mainly determined by routers in terms of technical processing. In terms of routing technology, there are two basic activities, one is how to select the optimal path, and the other is how to transmit the data packet.
In computer networks, a routing table or routing domain information base (RIB) is a spreadsheet (file) or class database stored in a router or networked computer. The routing table stores the path (and in some cases, the route metric value of the path) that points to a particular network address. The routing table contains topology information of the network periphery. The main goal of routing table establishment is to implement routing protocols and static routing.
Routing refers to the network-wide process of determining an end-to-end path as a packet travels from a source to a destination. And the routing is a data packet forwarding device working at the third layer of the OSI reference model, namely the network layer. Routers implement network interconnections by forwarding packets. The router determines an output port and a next address according to the network layer address in the received data packet and a routing table maintained in the router, and rewrites a link layer data packet header to realize forwarding of the data packet. Routers reflect the current network topology by dynamically maintaining routing tables, which are maintained by other routers on the network exchanging routing and link information. Routing refers to the process in which a router receives a data packet from one interface, directs the data packet according to the destination address of the data packet, and forwards the data packet to another interface.
Routing involves determining the best path and transmitting the information through the network.
The optimal path is determined, so that time and network resources can be saved, and information transmission is smoother.
The routing table has a static routing table and a dynamic routing table.
The fixed routing table preset by the system administrator is called as a static routing table, and is generally preset according to the configuration condition of the network when the system is installed, and cannot be changed along with the change of the network structure in the future.
The dynamic routing table is a routing table automatically adjusted by the router according to the operation condition of the network system.
The classical network routing node is generally a router or a switch, only forwards data but does not process the data, and information between users is routed through the router.
