针对诱骗态量子密钥分发方案的PNS攻击研究
Analysis on Photon-number-splitting Attack Against Decoy-state Quantum Key Distribution Schemes
摘要
Abstract
The fast development of quantum secure communication technology shows great ap-plication potentiality of quantum cryptography in communications. Quantum cryptography takes advantage of quantum's physical property to ensure unconditional security. However, in practical communication systems,the imperfection of photon sources and other devices brings safety loopholes.Photon-number-splitting (PNS) attack can obtain the secret key by taking advantage of imperfect photon sources of some quantum key distribution systems. This paper first reviews the current development and basic principle of PNS attack. Then, it presents an analysis on the key technology of an improved PNS attack. Based on the above analysis, the traditional PNS attack is improved by presenting a new attack, by which an eavesdropper can legally control the count rate of various pulse intensities at the receiving end so that it remains unchanged. Meanwhile, considering the practicability of the attack, photon pulses intensities are divided into several security intervals, each interval computes a beam splitter efficiency to insure receiver's count to be unchanged, so that the attack cannot be detected. Finally, with the help of MATLAB, the fitting function of beam splitter and light intensity is computed, and through numerical simulation and number optimization, this paper shows the feasibility of the proposed attack.关键词
