Known Practical Information Reconciliation Protocols Sample Clauses

Known Practical Information Reconciliation Protocols. Information reconciliation takes place after advantage distillation in information- theoretic secret key agreement, i.e, it is performed after Xxxxx and Xxx have gained an advantage over Xxx in terms of mutual information between their strings. The need for information reconciliation first showed up in the practical quantum key agreement protocol [2]. During this protocol, Xxxxx and Xxx first use a quantum channel to transmit quantum bits. Possible eavesdropping by Xxx and natural noise inherent to practical quantum facilities (such as a malfunction of the photon detector or system misalignment), cause discrepancies (errors) between Xxxxx’s and Bob’s quantum bits. Xxxxx and Xxx need to reconcile their quantum bits over an authentic public channel to eliminate all the discrepancies before they use privacy amplification techniques to distill a secret key. The usual model of information reconciliation is that two channels, a binary symmetric channel (BSC) with bit error probability p and a public channel, connect Xxxxx and Xxx. Xxxxx has a binary string A, which she transmits over the BSC channel to Bob who receives it as X. Xxxxx and Xxx then use the public channel to exchange some information to reconcile their strings. All information sent over the public channel can be seen by Xxx. The more Xxx knows, the fewer secret bits Xxxxx and Xxx can distill from the reconciled common string in the subsequent privacy amplification phase. Therefore, the aim of information reconciliation is to remove all the errors in B while reducing the information leakage to Eve. − − − − − To evaluate the performance of information reconciliation protocols, we can use the information rate R0(p) defined in Section 2.2. As we showed in Subsection 2.2.1, the upper bound for R0(p) is 1 h(p). Here we assume that A and B have length n, and h(p) = p log(p) (1 p) log(1 p) is the binary entropy function. In [2], Xxxxxxx et al. discuss for the first time a reconciliation protocol that proceeds after a quantum transmission protocol. We will refer to it as the BBBSS protocol. In this protocol, Xxxxx and Xxx first randomly permute the bit positions in their strings and partition them into blocks. For each block they compute and compare the parities. If Xxxxx’s and Bob’s parity check bits corresponding to the same block are different, a binary search is performed to locate an error in this block (we will explain the procedure of binary search in Subsection 2.3.2). They repeat this procedure wit...
