    Abstract

    Fast and efficient privacy amplification plays an important role in high throughput quantum key distribution (QKD) system. In general, implementation of privacy amplification relies on large integer multiplication, binary matrix multiplication or polynomial multiplication over finite field. Especially, privacy amplification based on polynomial multiplication has the advantage of low requirement on random number, while has relatively high implementation complexity. In this work, Toom-3 algorithm over finite field with four elements is developed and the corresponding explicit formula is derived, then a new privacy amplification method based on Toom-3 algorithm is presented. The time complexity of the method is O(n1.465), which indicates that the method is suitable for parallel computing and hardware implementaiton.
