Abstract
A method of generating a nonce includes measuring a TOA and a corresponding first or second state value of a plurality of first photons, wherein respective ones of the plurality of first photons are entangled with respective ones of a plurality of second photons in a first basis, which is time, and entangled in a second basis. A first ordered list of the measured TOAs of the plurality of first photons is generated. A TOA and a corresponding first or second state value of the plurality of second photons are measured. A second ordered list of the measured TOA of the plurality of second photons is generated. TOA matches between the first ordered list and the second ordered list are determined. The first or second state values that correspond to the determined TOA matches between the first ordered list and the second ordered list are determined. A shared secret random number is determined using the first or second state values that correspond to the determined TOA matches. A nonce is established using at least part of the shared secret random number.
