Abstract
An embodiment provides a quantum-resistant technique for distributing symmetric or other keys (e.g., in quantum key distribution (QKD), etc.). The embodiment pertains to a protocol and network architecture that integrates QKD without the need for trusted nodes, thereby meeting the requirements of the Tor or other anonymous communication network and creating a quantum-secure anonymous communication network. The embodiment re-designs the key establishment and exchange mechanisms of Tor to incorporate QKD, and provides a theoretical guarantee of security against quantum-powered adversaries (QPAs) while meeting all network or system requirements.
