Quantum key distribution is known as a secure key sharing technology against all physically possible attacks. However, there are still limitations in terms of key sharing distance and transmission speed. Therefore, attention has been focused on free-space communication physical-layer encryption, which allows information-theoretically secure key sharing over long distances, such as between ground and satellites, by setting reasonable assumptions about the eavesdropper's attack capabilities. Until now, experimental demonstrations of physical-layer encryption have been conducted in the 7.8 km free-space optical communication testbed between University of Electro-Communications and National Institute of Information and Communications Technology. In this paper, we propose a new method that applies simultaneous bit erasure based on the received intensity of laser light and polar codes to improve the performance of key transmission. We demonstrate that the key sharing efficiency improves by an average of approximately 6% compared to the existing experiments using LDPC codes. |
