• Abstract: Networks of quantum sensors are a central application of burgeoning quantum networks. A key question for the use of such networks will be their security, particularly against malicious participants of the network. We introduce a protocol to securely evaluate linear functions of parameters over a network of quantum sensors, ensuring that all parties only have access to the function value, and no access to the individual parameters. This has application to secure networks of clocks and opens the door to more general applications of secure multiparty computing to networks of quantum sensors.

  There are two primary approaches to achieving quantum-resistant security: quantum key distribution (QKD) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) We introduce the pros and cons of these protocols and explore how they can be combined to achieve a higher level of security and/or improved performance in key distribution. We hope our discussion inspires further research into the design of hybrid cryptographic protocols for quantum-classical communication networks.

  Quantum secret sharing (QSS) plays a pivotal role in multiparty quantum communication. However, the security of QSS schemes can be compromised by attacks exploiting imperfections in measurement devices. Here, we propose a reconfigurable approach to implement QSS based on measurement-device-independent (MDI) principles.

• Secure quantum-enhanced measurements on a network of sensors [0.0]
  Two-party secure quantum remote sensing (SQRS) protocols enable quantum-enhanced measurements at remote locations with guaranteed security against eavesdroppers. This idea can be scaled up to networks of nodes where one party can directly measure functions of parameters at the different nodes using entangled states. Here we show how this problem can be overcome in a hybrid protocol that utilises both entangled and separable states to achieve quantum-enhanced measurement precision and security on networks of any size.

As these networks grow in size, certification tools will be required to answer questions regarding their properties. We demonstrate a general method to guarantee that certain correlations cannot be generated in a given quantum network.

  Quantum key-distribution protocols allow two honest distant parties to establish a common truly random secret key in the presence of powerful adversaries. This pre-shared secret key is used mainly for authentication purposes in the post-processing of classical data. We discuss the conditions under which physical unclonable function can be integrated in currently available quantum key-distribution systems.
