Method and system for data security based on quantum communication and trusted computing

Abstract:

One embodiment described herein provides a system and method for ensuring data and computation security. During operation, a server receives a key-negotiation request from a client and authenticates the client. In response to the client authenticating the server, the server negotiates, via a quantum-key-distribution process, a secret key shared between the client and the server; and stores the secret key in a trusted-computing module.
