Description
DUAL CODING COHERENT PHASE PROTOCOL
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for dual coding coherent phase protocol in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system using a coherent laser source, an intensity modulator and a phase modulator.
BACKGROUND ART
At present, conventional QKD system utilizes the return transmission path which limits the coverage distance and includes single coding with the use of a single decoy bit. Quantum key distribution involves establishing a key between a sender (known as "Alice" in computer security literature) and a receiver (known as "Bob" in computer security literature) using weak optical signals transmitted over a "quantum channel". Quantum cryptography represents a recent technological development that provides for the assured privacy of a communications link. Conventional QKD system at present fails to adequately handle the situation in which eavesdropping is present on a communications link.
US Patent Application No. 11/071,696 ('696 US application) discloses a method of synchronizing the operation of a two-way QKD system by sending a sync signal in only one direction. The method includes phase-locking the sync signal at one QKD station and the method further includes rapidly switching the operation of the QKD system between three different operating states each having a different timing for the quantum signal. This allows for variations in the timing of all of the timed elements in the QKD system. The uniqueness of the present invention lies in the one-way transmission between parties exchanging secret encrypted keys to improve the secret key length, comprising two levels of encoding end six
types of decoy bits to further improve security of the secret keys. Additionally, the prior art did not disclose the usage of intensity modulator and phase modulator in the QKD system.
In another patent EP Patent No. 2,067,298 B1 ("'298 EP patent") discloses a phase and 5 intensity coding in secure transmission in optical transmission application which covers secret keys, binary bits and the like. The system and method disclosed in the '298 EP patent comprises an emitter and a receiver and an receiving line extending between said emitter and said receiver. However, the method of differential phase coding and intensity coding as revealed in the present invention is different from the EP patent due to the fact that the D present invention employs intensity coding in a different manner, i.e. using decoy bits.
The reach out distance of a QKD system is currently limited because of its plug and play configuration. This coherent pulse QKD system (adopting BB84 protocol) sends weak optical or quantum signals between a sender and a receiver. This weak pulse QKD system works in i the return path, which limits the reach out distance of the system. The security of the BB84 protocol in the QKD system is also susceptible towards Photon Number Splitting (PNS) attacks that can reduce the level of security in the system.
The conventional QKD system typically includes a single shared network between all parties to exchange keys or information. Members communicate and exchange keys by using public keys or shared private keys to send messages through the network. However, public keys are easy to decipher. The logistics of distributing the shared private keys can be complex. Therefore, the present invention discloses a an optical setup that utilizes only one way transmission which improves the length of key that can be transmitted and additionally employs 6 types of decoy bits of other orientation among the transmitted data to further improve the security of the secret keys.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method which employs coherent light as carrier for the secret keys. The method outlines use of Dual Coding Coherent Phase Protocol in Quantum 5 key distribution (QKD) system which allows only one way communication between two parties exchanging secret encryption keys.
In one embodiment of the present invention is the apparatus and method (100) for Dual Coding Coherent Phase Protocol in QKD system which comprises:
D (a) an intensity modulator (102), for intensity coding wherein a secret key is coded to generate a train of pulses with bits '1' for weak coherence pulse (WCP) and bits '0' for vacuum pulse; and
(b) a phase modulator (108), for differential phase coding, wherein the intensity coded secret keys is further coded with
Ϊ (i) bits Ί ' for phase difference of 0;
(ii) bits Ό' for phase difference of π for WCP; and
(ii) decoy bits for other orientation phase difference of vacuum pulse and WCP.
Phase values are encoded onto each bit to improve the level of security. The phase difference between the weak pulses is used as a code for the second coding. Phase difference of π represents the key value of '1' while phase difference 0 (no phase difference at all) represent the key value of Ό' (subject that the signal before interference follows the coded intensity as mentioned above). Measurements at the receiving end ("Bob") have to follow this rule before extracting the key from the transmitting end ("Alice"). This technique improves the shifted key generation and the security of the QKD scheme. In order to extract the bit data, the scheme below is implemented:
(a) bit data Ό', represented by a vacuum pulse followed by WCP and the phase difference of two pulses is π
(b) bit data Ύ, represented by a WCP followed by another WCP and the phase difference of two pulses is Ό'.
The present invention consists of several novel features and a combination of parts hereinafter fully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that various changes in the details may be made without departing from the scope of the invention or sacrificing any of the advantages of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for dual coding coherent phase protocol in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system. Hereinafter, this specification will describe the present invention according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, it is to be understood that limiting the description to the preferred embodiments of the invention is merely to facilitate discussion of the present invention and it is envisioned that those skilled in the art may devise various modifications and equivalents without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
The present invention discloses an apparatus and method for dual coding coherent phase protocol in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system using a coherent laser source, an intensity modulator and a phase modulator.
In FIG. 1, a key generation process at sender's end (Alice) transmitted to receiver's end (Bob) is disclosed, wherein the system includes employs coherent light as carrier for the secret keys. The method for Dual Coding Coherent Phase Protocol in QKD system as claimed by the present invention comprises:
(a) coherent laser source (102) which employs coherent light as carrier for the secret keys
(b) intensity modulator (104) for intensity coding wherein a secret key is coded to generate a train of pulses with bits '1' for weak coherence pulse (WCP) and bits '0' for vacuum pulse,
(c) variable attenuator (106) to intensify each signal and to randomly attenuate the decoy bits, and
(d) phase modulator (108) for differential phase coding, wherein the intensity coded secret keys is further coded with
(i) bits '1' for phase difference of 0;
(ii) bits Ό' for phase difference of π for weak coherence pulse (WCP); and
(iii) decoy bits for other orientation phase difference of vacuum pulse and WCP.
The transmitter phase generates the pulses randomly, and as the system relies on the difference between phases, it is termed as phase differential coding. The transmitter later transmits the pulses to the receiver. Prior art ('696 US application and '298 EP patent) does not disclose the use of intensity coding and/or differential phase coding as described in the present invention. To implement the weak decoy and vacuum protocol, the variable attenuator (106) was added to intensify each signal to the intensity of either signal state or weak decoy or vacuum state randomly. In dual coding, the phase value is encoded on each bit as Ό' or V and the addition of an attenuator to a QKD system achieves better performance as evidenced by a higher key generation rate and longer distance. The return transmission path of the QKD system uses different kinds of decoy bits to improve security of the security keys. To accomplish these objectives, the QKD system and method thereof alters a single bit data system or dense coding for 2 bits data or 3 bits data system as illustrated in FIG. 2. In Dense Coding Protocol, the protocol alters the secret and decoy keys. The decoy keys include 3 quantum bits of data rather than 1 bit data. The combination of phase and vacuum pulses reconstruct the code for the density coding as below:
(a) Bit data 000 is represent by the WCP followed by another vacuum pulses and phase different between the two pulses of vacuum pulses and WCP is π
(b) Bit data 001 is represented by the vacuum pulses followed by another WCP and phase different between the two pulses of WCP and WCP is 0
(c) Bit data 010 is represented by the vacuum pulses followed by another WCP and phase different between the two pulses of WCP and WCP is π
(d) Bit data 011 is represented by the WCP followed by another WCP and phase different between the two pulses of WCP and WCP is 0
(e) Bit data 100 is represented by the WCP followed by another WCP and phase different between the two pulses of WCP and WCP is π
(f) Bit data 101 s represented by the WCP followed by another WCP and phase different between the two pulses of WCP and vacuum is 0
(g) Bit data 110 is represented by the WCP followed by another WCP and phase different between the two pulses of WCP and vacuum is π
(h) Bit data 111 is represented by the WCP followed by another vacuum pulses and phase different between the two pulses of vacuum pulses and WCP is 0
(i) The other combination of pulses is decoy signal which improve the security of the system during communication system.
The present invention is novel over and above other prior art due to the use of different kinds of decoy bits to improve security when there is an increase in the uncertainty level. Level of security of the transmitted key is further increased by introducing 6 types of decoy bits of other orientation among the transmitted data. Another novel feature of the present invention is by altering the system from a single bit data system to dual coding, or dense coding using 2 bits data or 3 bits data system. The present invention utilizes only one way transmission which improves the length of key that can be transmitted using this technique.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing descriptions. All changes, which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims, are to be embraced within their scope.
