Quantum computing represents an emerging threat to the public key infrastructure underlying transport layer security (TLS) widely used in the Internet. This paper describes how QKD symmetric keys can be used with TLS to provide quantum computing resistant security for existing Internet applications. We also implement and test a general hybrid key delivery architecture with QKD over long distance fibers between secure sites, and wireless key distribution over short distance within each site. Finally we show how this same capability can be extended to a TLS cipher scheme with perfect security.

量子安全的互联网传输

量子计算对互联网中广泛使用的传输层安全性（TLS）的公钥基础设施构成了新的威胁。本文介绍了QKD对称密钥如何与TLS一起使用，以为现有Internet应用程序提供抗量子计算的安全性。我们还使用安全站点之间的长距离光纤上的QKD以及每个站点内短距离上的无线密钥分发，通过QKD实施并测试了通用的混合密钥传递体系结构。最后，我们展示了如何将该相同功能扩展到具有完美安全性的TLS密码方案。
