Patent attributes
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for session authentication. An example method includes determining, by decoding circuitry, a set of quantum bases to use for measurement. The example method further includes receiving, by the decoding circuitry, a series of photons. The example method further includes decoding, by the decoding circuitry and based on the determined set of quantum bases, the series of photons to generate a decoded set of bits. The example method further includes receiving, by the decoding circuitry, a control signal indicative of an instruction to initiate decoding based on the set of quantum bases. The example method further includes, in response to receiving the control signal, decoding, by the decoding circuitry, the series of photons based on the set of quantum bases. The example method further includes generating, by session authentication circuitry, a session key based on the decoded set of bits.
