| Outline of Research at the Start |
Classical key distribution protocols, which are based on the mathematical complexity of cryptography techniques, can be soon compromised. Capitalizing on the law of quantum physics, QKD has been considered as a promising method with proved implementations for fixed networks. This proposal aims to study the proposal of QKD systems for wireless networks based on the FSO technology and high-altitude platforms. We focus on solving both fundamental theory as well as system, protocol designing issues to achieve a reliable and efficient key distribution method for the future wireless networks.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
First, we presented a new design for satellite CV-QKD by applying non-coherent detection for the entanglement-based scheme. We also worked on issues related to the design and applications of satellite-based FSO systems. Second, we proposed a novel entanglement-based FSO/QKD system that uses LEO and GEO satellites. We then investigated the feasibility of a case study for the Japan QKD network using the existing GEO and LEO satellite constellations. Thirdly, we proposed a novel design for a global-scale FSO/QKD network based on a GEO satellite as the secret key source and LEO satellites as relay nodes for multiple wireless users. Finally, we proposed a novel modulation signaling-based QKD protocol that employs eight phases of the optical carrier, which exhibits increased spectral efficiency compared to existing protocols.
