Trusted Quantum Botnet Research based on Dual-Chord Protocol

The controller in the traditional chord-based botnets needs to maintain the periodic communication among all the adjacent peerbots so that every peerbot could efficiently master the new routing information. Once some peerbot is captured by the anti-virus software and is treated as a honeypot, the security personnel can capture more peerbots by tracking the deployed honeypot when it updates the routing table so that the robustness of botnet would be affected. To solve the above-mentioned problem, the trusted chordbased quantum botnet is proposed that utilizes the quantum secure channel to achieve the updating of routing table, and introduces the anti-tracking network for capturing the deployed honeypots. The anlysis result showed that the robustness and stability of trusted chord-based quantum botnet could efficiently be improved.
