Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for session authentication. An example system includes switching circuitry configured to receive a first subset of qbits over a first quantum line wherein the first subset of qbits are generated by a qbit encoder based on a first set of quantum bases and transmit the first subset of qbits over a second quantum line. The system further includes first session authentication circuitry configured to generate a session key based on a first decoded subset of bits, wherein the first decoded subset of bits are generated based on the first subset of qbits.

A system for session authentication using quantum line switching, the system comprising:
- switching circuitry configured to:
- receive a first subset of qbits over a first quantum line, wherein the first subset of qbits are generated by a qbit encoder based on a first set of quantum bases, and
- transmit the first subset of qbits over a second quantum line;
- and
- first session authentication circuitry configured to:
- generate a session key based on a first decoded subset of bits, wherein the first decoded subset of bits are generated based on the first subset of qbits.
A method for session authentication using quantum line switching, the method comprising:
- receiving, by switching circuitry, a first subset of qbits over a first quantum line, wherein the first subset of qbits are generated by a qbit encoder based on a first set of quantum bases;
- transmitting, by the switching circuitry, the first subset of qbits over a second quantum line;
- and
- generating, by first session authentication circuitry, a session key based on a first decoded subset of bits, wherein the first decoded subset of bits are generated based on the first subset of qbits.
