Secure multi-party biometric verification using QKD assisted quantum oblivious transfer
摘要
We present an experimentally feasible implementation of a secure multiparty computation application enabled by quantum oblivious transfer (QOT) on an entanglement-based physical layer. The QOT protocol uses polarization-encoded entangled states to share oblivious keys between two parties with quantum key distribution (QKD) providing authentication. Our system integrates the post-processing for QOT and QKD, both sharing a single physical layer, ensuring efficient key generation and authentication, respectively. Authentication involves hashing messages into a cryptographic context, verifying tags, and replenishing keys. This process uses a parallel QKD pipeline specifically for authentication, not for secure key generation. Oblivious keys are generated over a distance up to 25.8 km with a channel loss of 8.47 dB. In a back-to-back setup, a QOT rate of
