A note on quantum safe symmetric key growing
read the original abstract
Quantum key distribution is a cryptographic primitive for the distribution of symmetric encryption keys between two parties that possess a pre-shared secret. Since the pre-shared secret is a requirement, quantum key distribution may be viewed as a key growing protocol. We note that the use of pre-shared secrets coupled with access to randomness beacons may enable key growing which, though not secure from an information-theoretic standpoint, remains quantum safe.
