Abstract: | A general method is proposed for privacy protection upon correction of errors in primary keys in quantum cryptography through an open communication channel. By the example of the cascade procedure for correcting errors, a method is described for removing information sent through an open communication channel when cleaning a key. The critical percentage is found for the quantum cryptography protocol BB84 to which the cascade error correction method with deletion guarantees the security of the final key. The method proposed for removing information sent through the open communication channel is quite general and can be used for many cleaning protocols for primary keys in quantum cryptography. |
