A secure key distribution protocol based on hash functions and a quantum-authenticated channel using 6DP (KDP-6DP)

A secure key distribution protocol based on hash functions and a quantum-authenticated channel using 6DP (KDP-6DP)

Security is the most tedious problem in highly sensitive communications. Quantum security is the key issue in solving the problem. A key distribution protocol based on the use of hash functions is proposed. The essential part of the protocol depends on sending a string of random characters from se...

Consequently, the session key is generated on-site by independently applying a hash function on the random string at the sender and receiver sides.
