Popis: Quantum random key distribution based on physical properties of quantum mechanics has high security and true randomness, but it has the disadvantages of low key generation efficiency and high cost. The classic pseudo-random number generator has the advantages of simple algorithm and high key generation efficiency, but it has extremely strict requirements on the security and randomness of the "seed". Based on the analysis of two unrelated technologies, this paper proposes a pseudo-random number generation scheme based on quantum key distribution. This scheme makes full use of quantum key distribution to share a short quantum random number-seed between the two communicating parties, then inputs the seed into a pseudo-random number generator. Finally, the two communicating parties share a long random number to encrypt the communication content. Research shows that compared with classic quantum key distribution and classic pseudo-random number generator, this scheme has stronger security, better randomness, and higher key generation efficiency.
