Software Defined Network Based Error Correction Mechanism in Quantum Key Distribution

학회: 2024 IEEE 5th India Council International Subsections Conference (INDISCON)

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a secure communication method that uses quantum mechanics to exchange secret keys. Currently, the QKD process uses a static error correction method, which can lead to inaccuracies and inefficient resource use. The project aims to develop a new QKD error correction method that adapts dynamically based on real-time Quantum Bit Error Rate (QBER) measurements and Software Defined Networking (SDN) principles. Two specific error correction mechanisms, the 2D Parity check and the Cascade Protocol, will be used to match the QBER value. The investigation will be conducted using the DARPAN application, providing a quantum-enabled environment.
