Efficient Almost Strongly Universal Hash Function for Quantum Key Distribution
Résumé
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology, based on principles of quantum mechanics, can generate unconditional security keys for communication parties. Information-theoretically secure (ITS) authentication, the compulsory procedure of QKD systems, avoids the man-in-the-middle attack during the security key generation. The construction of hash functions is the paramount concern within the ITS authentication. In this extended abstract, we proposed a novel Efficient NTT-based ε-Almost Strongly Universal Hash Function. The security of our NTT-based ε-ASU hash function meets ε ≤ L(n + 1)/2n − 2. With ultra-low computational amounts of construction and hashing procedures, our proposed NTT-based ε-ASU hash function is suitable for QKD systems.
