Symmetric blind information reconciliation and hash-function-based verification for quantum key distribution

Quantum Physics 2018-09-25 v3

Abstract

We consider an information reconciliation protocol for quantum key distribution (QKD). In order to correct down the error rate, we suggest a method, which is based on symmetric blind information reconciliation for the low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. We develop a subsequent verification protocol with the use of ϵ\epsilon-universal hash functions, which allows verifying the identity between the keys with a certain probability.
