Shuffling Method for Error Reconciliation in Quantum Key Distribution Protocol

摘要

A permutation method for reconciling bit errors in a quantum key reconciliation protocol performing an iterative reconciliation process, includes: obtaining a bit string through a previous reconciliation step; and permuting bits in athe bit string obtained from athe previous reconciliation step before a subsequent reconciliation step by performing a linear modulo operation based on a length of the bit string and a length of a block for the subsequent reconciliation step.
