Analysis of Y00 Protocol Under Quantum Generalization of a Fast Correlation Attack: Toward Information-Theoretic Security

A key-refreshment procedure for the Y00 protocol is provided and the framework of the security analyses reiterates two well-known results from the past: Y00 systems would be cryptanalyzed when the system is not designed well and the breach probability of the shared keys increases with time.

Security Evaluation of Y00 Protocol Based on Time-Translational Symmetry Under Quantum Collective Known-Plaintext Attacks

In this paper, we concretely formulate to derive the attacker’s success probability of obtaining the shared secret keys for the Y00 protocol under a combination of a quantum collective attack with…

This study is the first challenge of evaluating the guessing probabilities on shared secret keys for pseudorandom number generators in a simplified Y00 communication system based on quantum multiple hypotheses testing theory and the result is that even unlimitedly long known-plaintext attack only lets the eavesdropper guess the sharedsecret keys of limited lengths with a probability strictly <1.
