Experimental quantum secure network with digital signatures and encryption.

ABSTRACT: Cryptography promises four information security objectives, namely, confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and non-repudiation, to support trillions of transactions annually in the digital economy. Efficient digital signatures, ensuring integrity, authenticity and non-repudiation of data with information-theoretical security are highly urgent and intractable open problems in cryptography. Here, we propose a high-efficiency quantum digital signature (QDS) protocol using asymmetric quantum keys acquired via secret sharing, one-time universal₂ hashing and a one-time pad. We just need to use a 384-bit key to sign documents of lengths up to 2⁶⁴ with a security bound of 10^-19. If a one-megabit document is signed, the signature efficiency is improved by more tha
