- Abstract: Quantum key distribution, initialized in 1984, is a commercialized secure
communication method which enables two parties to produce shared random secret
key by the nature of quantum mechanics. We propose QQUIC (Quantum assisted
Quick UDP Internet Connections) transport protocol, which modifies the famous
QUIC transport protocol by employing the quantum key distribution instead of
the original classical algorithms in the key exchanging stage. Thanks to the
provable security of quantum key distribution, the security of QQUIC key does
not depend on computational assumptions. Maybe surprisingly, QQUIC can reduce
the network latency in some circumstance even comparing with QUIC. To achieve
this, the attached quantum connections are used as the dedicated lines for key
generation.
