Abstract:
We analyze the use of a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system to generate and distribute oblivious keys. Oblivious keys can be used to implement secure multiparty computation services. After defining oblivious keys, we show how they can be reduced to symmetric keys and used to implement secure links, and how they can also be used to implement secure computation services. Oblivious keys can also be reversed. In this context, we analyze the advantages of using quantum resources to generate oblivious keys. Particularly, we analyze a protocol to generate oblivious keys, considering both the efficiency and security of the process. We show that by using QKD, we can simultaneously obtain an efficient and quantum-resistant solution to generate and distribute oblivious keys. Finally, we discuss a field trial where a quantum secure multiparty computation service for calculating phylogenetic trees was implemented in the Quantum Madrid Network.
