Abstract :
This paper introduces the permanent security notation. And then by combining the computational security of the classical cryptography and the theoretical security of the one-time-pad quantum cryptography, this paper provides a permanent secure QKD protocol. The protocol authenticates the both parties for two times and could get a quantum state effective rate at 100% in an ideal environment. In addition, this protocol is permanent secure, sustainable, and easy to be deployed.
