• A privacy-preserving key transmission protocol to distribute QRNG keys using zk-SNARKs 

      Soler, David; Dafonte, Carlos; Fernández Veiga, Manuel; Fernández Vilas, Ana; Nóvoa, Francisco (Elsevier B.V., 2024-04)
      [Absctract]: High-entropy random numbers are an essential part of cryptography, and Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) are an emergent technology that can provide high-quality keys for cryptographic algorithms but ...
    • Analysis of the NS-3 module QKDNetSim for the Simulation of QKD Networks 

      Soler, David; Cillero Seijas, Iván; Nóvoa, Francisco; Dafonte, Carlos; Fernández Vilas, Ana; Fernández Veiga, Manuel (Universidade da Coruña, Servizo de Publicacións, 2023)
      [Abstract] Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a promising technology that allows two nodes to privately agree on a key through a quantum channel. Unfortunately, QKD is still in experimental phase and researchers must rely ...
    • QKDNetSim+: Improvement of the quantum network simulator for NS-3 

      Soler, David; Cillero Seijas, Iván; Dafonte, Carlos; Fernández Veiga, Manuel; Fernández Vilas, Ana; Nóvoa, Francisco (Elsevier, 2024)
      [Abstract]: The first Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) networks are currently being deployed, but the implementation cost is still prohibitive for most researchers. As such, there is a need for realistic QKD network simulators. ...
