Abstract

Quantum conference key agreement (QCKA) generalises the traditional two-party quantum key distribution (QKD) paradigm to multiple users, enabling them to share a common quantum-safe key. Deriving quantum conference keys from multi-partite entanglement can have significant resource advantages over two-party schemes [1]. Anonymous quantum key agreement (AQCKA) is a related protocol which has been theoretically shown to obtain an even more substantial reduction in network resources when multi-partite entanglement is available and incorporated into the protocol. The addition of anonymity can be useful in circumstances where users require guaranteed secrecy, e.g. for electronic voting, or for whistle blowers.
