Abstract:

With the development of quantum information technology, quantum key distribution network is gradually applied to real life. In order to improve the security of quantum key distribution network, this paper compares and analyzes the random routing and multi-path routing schemes, and proposes a multi-path scheme with the least common nodes. This scheme is suitable for network structures with densely distributed links. By finding multiple disjoint paths, the scheme reduces redundant paths, improves the security of key routing, and reduces the consumption of quantum key in the routing process. Finally, an example is given to verify the routing scheme.

Key words: quantum key distribution network, key relay, stochastic routing, multiple paths, public nodes
