Abstract

The Quantum Crypted GRID Port developed under the D11-044 QUANTGRID project financed by the Romanian Center for Programme Management CNMP is presented: specifically the technology developed and the proprietary software used in the project. Quantum crypted communications eliminate the possibility of quantum-computer deciphering of messages (Shor's Lemma), while functioning with a public key exchange scheme – being secure by the very essence of quantum nature: any quantum state measured in any way collapses into one of its projections, thus it cannot be cloned and impossible to keep a copy thereof. The distribution of quantum public key is hence similar to the Vernam cipher (symmetrical – with secret key). The ongoing activities in this technology pertain to GRID communications through optical fiber and allow to optimise the quantum security technology and experiment proprietary algorithms for optimum datavolume/security for this new type of communications.
