MULTISS: un protocole de stockage confidentiel {\`a} long terme sur plusieurs r{\'e}seaux QKD

Abstract

This paper presents MULTISS, a new protocol for long-term storage distributed across multiple Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) networks. This protocol is an extension of LINCOS, a secure storage protocol that uses Shamir secret sharing for secret storage on a single QKD network. Our protocol uses hierarchical secret sharing to distribute a secret across multiple QKD networks while ensuring perfect security. Our protocol further allows for sharing updates without having to reconstruct the entire secret. We also prove that MULTISS is strictly more secure than LINCOS, which remains vulnerable when its QKD network is compromised.
