Abstract
The arrangements disclosed herein relate to generating, by a first server, a first seed using a Hash-Based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) based at least in part on a Hash Key (HK), providing, by the first server to each of a first device and a second device, the first seed, providing, by a second server to each of the first device or the second device, a second seed. The second seed is based at least in part on a stream of photons. Each of the first device or the second device generates a Derived Key (DK) based at least in part on the first seed and the second seed. Each of the first device or the second device generates a first key based at least in part on the DK and a first random number generated by a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG). The first device encrypts first data using the first key to obtain first ciphertext and provides the first ciphertext to the second device. The second device derives the first key and decrypts the first ciphertext using the first key.
