Modular quantum circuits for secure communication

Abstract

Quasi-chaotic generators are used for producing a pseudorandom behaviour that can be used for encryption/decryption and secure communications, introducing an implementation of them based on quantum technology. Namely, the authors propose a quasi-chaotic generator based on quantum modular addition and quantum modular multiplication and they prove that quantum computing allows the parallel processing of data, paving the way for a fast and robust multi-channel encryption/decryption scheme. The resulting structure is validated by means of several experiments, which assessed the performance with respect to the original VLSI solution and ascertained the desired noise-like behaviour.
