Experimental Side Channel Analysis of Protocol Stages in Quantum Identity Authentication

Quantum networks can enable distributed computing and sensing. To realize these capabilities securely, quantum identity authentication is essential. Without authentication at the quantum layer, malicious repeaters may retain entanglement instead of performing swapping, enabling man-in-the-middle...

Quantum CDMA-Based Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution Using Chaotic Phase Shifters

We present a quantum code-division multiple-access q-CDMA framework for multiuser continuous-variable quantum key distribution CV-QKD over a shared quantum channel. The proposed architecture employs chaotic phase shifters to encode and decode quantum states, enabling efficient multiplexing and...
