Noise Secured Internet

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

This work shows how a secure Internet can be implemented through a fast key distribution system that uses physical noise to protect the transmitted information. Starting from a shared random sequence K0K_0 between two (or more) users, longsequences RR of random bits can be shared. The signals sent over the Internet are deterministic but have a built-in Nature-made uncertainty that protects the shared sequences. After privacy amplification the shared RR random bits --encrypted by noise-- are subsequently utilized in one-time-pad data ciphering.
