연구 분야: Cryptography

학회: 2024 5th International Conference on Electronics and Sustainable Communication Systems (ICESC)

Sensor nodes are integral to wireless sensor networks (WSNs) but their deployment across various locations exposes their communications to potential monitoring. Key challenges include message protection and node identification, necessitating efficient mechanisms for key distribution and management, especially in large-scale networks. Quantum cryptography, specifically quantum key distribution (QKD), offers a method to securely establish keys over short distances, leveraging principles like garbage output reduction and quantum communication for enhanced security. To address these issues, reversible logic gates, such as the newly developed
