According to the structure of European Secoqc QKD network, a QKD protocol is proposed. Entanglement swapping between Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen （EPR） pairs can be used to exchange message bits in two remote places. Based on this idea, n ＋ 1 EPR pairs are used as logical quan- tum channel （for n nodes per routing）, while measurements of Bell operator are transmitted by classical channel. Random space quantum channel selection is exploited in our protocol to improve the probability of revealing Eve. Compared with traditional EPR protocol, the proposed protocol exhibits many features, which are minutely described.展开更多
