Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
The invention provides a measuring equipment independent quantum key distribution method based on a threshold selection technology, which adopts a measuring equipment independent quantum key distribution system based on the threshold selection technology, and comprises four parts, namely an Alice signal generation and modulation device 11, a Bob signal generation and modulation device 12, an untrusted third party Charlie measuring device 13 and an Alice party and Bob party combined post-processing device 14, as shown in figure 1. (Alice and Bob represent only the two parties in communication sending a signal)
The Alice signal generating and modulating device 11 and the Bob signal generating and modulating device 12 have the same structure, specifically: the device comprises four lasers 1, wherein the four lasers 1 are respectively subjected to polarization modulation (the polarization states are respectively H, V, and +/-) through a polarization beam splitter I2, then polarized light pulses are combined through a beam splitter I3, and after the light pulses are attenuated through an intensity modulator 4, the light pulses are emitted from an Alice signal generating and modulating device 11 and a Bob signal generating and modulating device 12.
The untrusted third party Charlie measuring device 13 comprises a beam splitter II5, the beam splitter II5 receives light pulses of the Alice signal generating and modulating device 11 and the Bob signal generating and modulating device 12 to perform two-photon interference, two polarization beam splitters II6 are symmetrically arranged in front of a light path, and two single photon detectors 7 are symmetrically arranged in front of the light path of each polarization beam splitter II 6. The results of two-photon interference of the light pulses of the Alice signal generating and modulating device 11 and the Bob signal generating and modulating device 12 correspond to one of the four Bell states through the combination of the responses of the single-photon detector 7.
The post-processing structure of the combined post-processing device 10 of the Alice party and the Bob party comprises a threshold selection module 8, a data coordination module 9 and a privacy amplification module 10. The specific working process of threshold post-processing is as follows: firstly, the combined post-processing device 14 of the Alice party and the Bob party acquires basic parameters of the atmospheric turbulence environment, such as turbulence intensity, and selects and establishes a corresponding atmospheric turbulence model, and then the threshold selection module 8 can screen out a signal interval with high transmission rate to extract a secret key, so that the safe secret key rate of the system is further improved. The transmission rate threshold is determined in advance by using an iterative algorithm, and the threshold is used for selecting to discard the channel transmission rate smaller than the threshold value after the selection, the part larger than the threshold value is reserved to ensure higher average channel transmission rate, and then a security key is generated by a classical data coordination module 9 and a privacy amplification module 10.
The threshold post-processing procedure comprises two parts of channel transmission rate threshold determination and key post-processing. In the channel transmission rate threshold determination part, the optimal channel transmission rate threshold is determined under different atmospheric turbulence intensities according to relevant parameters of system equipment. In the post-processing process, by utilizing a channel transmission rate threshold determined in advance, a receiving party divides a received signal into two parts, namely a channel transmission rate greater than the threshold and a channel transmission rate less than the threshold, discards the part less than the threshold, only retains the signal of which the transmission rate is greater than the threshold, and carries out post-processing processes of privacy amplification, key error correction and the like on the signal, thereby extracting a final security key.
Examples
The fixed free space channel loss is 37dB, the atmospheric variance sigma is 0.9, the relation between the key rate and the threshold based on the real-time selection technology BB84 protocol is obtained through simulation, and the relation is compared with the key rate upper limit of a full transmission rate integral model and the traditional BB84 protocol.
As shown in fig. 2, the protocol key rate of the real-time selection technology performed by using the method for distributing the quantum key irrelevant to the measuring device based on the threshold selection technology is higher than that of the conventional protocol. When the improved protocol obtains the optimal threshold of 0.0002, the key rate of the improved protocol reaches the maximum and is close to the upper limit of the key rate based on the full transmission rate integral model, the increase of the threshold improves the average transmission rate of the reserved signals of the system, the key rate is further improved, and the influence is larger than the reverse influence of the shortened signals on the key rate.
The invention relates to a measuring equipment irrelevant quantum key distribution method based on a threshold selection technology, which is characterized in that the physical principle of the post-threshold selection technology is utilized, the optimal matching threshold is obtained according to different turbulence intensity models, the accuracy of compensating the atmospheric turbulence influence in a channel environment is increased in a targeted manner, the practicability of a free space measuring equipment irrelevant quantum key distribution protocol under the actual environment condition is improved, and safe and reliable key distribution is realized.
