Abstract
One embodiment described herein provides a system and method for establishing a secure communication channel between a client and a server. During operation, the client generates a service request comprising a first dynamic message, transmits the first service request to the server, which authenticates the client based on the first dynamic message, and receives a second dynamic message from the server in response to the first dynamic message. The client authenticates the server based on the second dynamic message, and negotiates, via a quantum-key-distribution process, a secret key shared between the client and the server. The client and server then establish a secure communication channel based on at least a first portion of the secret key.
