Abstract

This chapter presents quantum key distribution protocols (QKDPs) to safeguard security in large networks, ushering in new directions in classical cryptography and quantum cryptography. Two three-party QKDPs, one with implicit user authentication and the other with explicit mutual authentication, are proposed to demonstrate the merits of the new combination, which include the following: 1) Security against such attacks as man-in-the-middle, eavesdropping, and replay, 2) Efficiency is improved as the proposed protocols contain the fewest number of communication rounds among existing QKDPs, and 3) Two parties can share and use a long-term secret (repeatedly). To prove the security of the proposed schemes, this work also presents a new primitive called the unbiased-chosen basis (UCB) assumption.
