This document, produced by the Quantum Internet Research Group (QIRG), introduces quantum networks and presents general guidelines for the design and construction of such networks. Overall, …

Apr 1, 2020 · With the help of entanglement, implemented in quantum repeaters, quantum networks can transfer information faster than ever before: a state can be transmitted over a long distance instantly, …

"Quantum hacking: Experimental demonstration of time-shift attack against practical quantum-key-distribution systems", Physical Review A, American Physical Society, DOI …

The vision of a quantum internet is to enhance existing Internet technology by enabling quantum communication between any two points on Earth. To achieve this goal, a quantum network stack …

Many others will fail in interesting ways; we coin the term "Quantum Bug" for such failures. In the following section, we will discuss some examples of Quantum Bugs.

This extension makes use of external PSKs to improve resilience against attackers that gain access to a large-scale quantum computer in the future. This extension is always accompanied by the …

Recent advances in cryptanalysis [BH2013] and progress in the development of quantum computers [NAS2019] pose a threat to widely deployed digital signature algorithms.

Most symmetric cryptographic algorithms that are secure in the classical model provide quantum security in the Q1 model, i.e., they are post-quantum secure. Security in the Q1 setting corresponds …

The idea behind this document is that while a quantum computer can easily reconstruct the shared secret of an (EC)DH exchange, it cannot as easily recover a secret from a symmetric exchange.

In recent years, cryptographers have been specifying Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithms, including quantum-secure KEM algorithms. This document defines conventions for the use of KEM …
