The invention discloses a
quantum-key-distribution-network-based mobile
encryption system and a communication method thereof. The method comprises that: a mobile terminal is registered in a network; the registered mobile terminal is connected with any
quantum terminal by a key updating interface, and applies for the downloading of shared keys in a certain data volume to the
quantum terminal; after the mobile terminal downloads the keys, the quantum terminal transmits a quantum centralized control
station address to the mobile terminal for updating, and the mobile terminal takes a centralized control
station on the quantum centralized control
station address as a calling centralized control station; after the calling centralized control station is determined, the mobile terminal submits a
cipher text to the calling centralized control station; the calling centralized control station re-encrypts the
cipher text, and transmits the re-encrypted
cipher text to a called centralized control station; the called centralized control station re-encrypts the cipher text, and transmits the re-encrypted cipher text to a called user; and after the called user decrypts the re-encrypted cipher text to obtain a
plaintext, the communication is finished. In the method, the
encryption does not require multiple
matrix multiplication operations, so the computational load of the
encryption is greatlyreduced; and simultaneously, the
key distribution security of the highest level can be ensured in the
key distribution of a
quantum key distribution network.
