Abstract
A method of user-authenticated quantum key distribution according to the present invention shares a position having the same basis without making public basis information using previously shared secret keys and authenticates a quantum channel by confirming whether there is the same measured outcome at that position, in order to secure unconditional security of BB84 quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack.
