Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for authentication between multiple devices using N-way entangled particles. Any number (N) of entangled particles may be distributed to any number of devices within a distributed system to facilitate authentication between multiple devices. An example authentication method includes: generating, by a secure key generator of a first participating device, a first key based on one or more quantum entangled particles; determining, by communications hardware of the first participating device, that a connection to a second participating device could not be established or maintained; in response to the determining, by the communications hardware, transmitting a first connection request to establish a connection with a third participating device; receiving, by the communications hardware, an acknowledgement to instantiate the connection with the third participating device; and establishing, by the communications hardware, the connection with the third participating device.
