Abstract
A quantum-attack resistant operating system for use in a key management mechanism which is a full solution of cyber-security for quantum transmission via optical paths, in order to detect and bypass quantum computing attacks, or to perform quantum counterattacks, during various procedures of quantum key managements; wherein the system avoids the attacks of key tampering, destroying, detecting, and blocking, from other quantum systems in a quantum key storage phase; meanwhile, it also avoids the sniffing from other quantum systems on key entangled properties, in a quantum key clearing phase; in addition, in a quantum key recycling phase, facing quantum computing attacks, it not only can disrupt the judgement of other systems on key verification, but also consumes the computing resources on the attacker side; thereby the present invention provides a protection mechanism which cannot be achieved by a conventional PQC (Post-quantum cryptography) solution.
