Abstract

EN UN METODO DE CRIPTOGRAFIA CUANTICA, UN TRANSMISOR (T) COMUNICA UN CANAL CUANTICO CON VARIOS RECEPTORES (R1-R3). LOS RECEPTORES ESTAN LOCALIZADOS EN DIFERENTES RAMAS DE UNA RED DE COMUNICACIONES COMUN. EL METODO ESTABLECE UNA CONTRASEÑA SECRETA CORRESPONDIENTE DIFERENTE PARA CADA RECEPTOR. UN IMPULSO DE TEMPORIZACION PUEDE SER TRANSMITIDO DESDE EL TRANSMISOR A LOS RECEPTORES PARA SINCRONIZAR LOS RECEPTORES ANTES DE UNA TRANSMISION EN UN CANAL CUANTICO. EL CANAL CUANTICO PUEDE SER MULTIPLEXADO Y TRANSMITIDO CONCURRENTEMENTE CON TRANSMISIONES CLASICAS MULTI-FOTONICAS EN LA RED.
