At present, communication develops very rapidly in China, and a large number of communication systems cannot be separated in production and life; and the traditional communication mode is easy to steal information by the outside, and the secret-related requirements of protecting personal privacy, commercial confidentiality, technical secrecy and the like cannot be met. Therefore, information security is increasingly important in current social development.
One of the most important, and unique, properties of quantum key distribution is: if a third party attempts to eavesdrop on the password, both parties to the communication will perceive it. This property is based on the fundamental principle of quantum mechanics: any measurement of a quantum system will cause interference to the system. A third party attempting to eavesdrop on the password must somehow measure it, and these measurements can cause a noticeable anomaly. Information is transmitted through a quantum superposition state or a quantum entanglement state, and a communication system can detect whether eavesdropping exists or not. Quantum communication and its security are receiving wide attention from all the world of society. Quantum key distribution is the most secure in current communication schemes.
Continuous variable quantum key distribution is used as an important implementation mode of quantum cryptography communication, and has the advantages of high key generation rate, low implementation cost, convenience in deployment and the like. Especially, the quantum signal fusion device has the capability of being fused with the existing optical network, and can ensure that the transmitted quantum signal is not damaged by the classical optical signal.
However, the security of the continuous variable quantum key distribution technology is greatly challenged by a strategy called interception-retransmission attack; this clearly limits the key generation rate and the distance of secure transmission of the QKD system.
