The protocol Secure Sockets Layer uses a combination of symmetrical and symmetrical encryptions. As we know, encryption with symmetrical keys is more rapid than the one with public keys, the latter offering, however, a much better method of authentication. The protocol Secure Sockets Layer-handshake allows the authentication client-server and the cooperation between parties for the creation of symmetrical keys used for encryption and decryption.
This work proposes the replacement of classical techniques of client-server authentication by a quantum one, which is not vulnerable to the cybernetic attacks, and which solves the problem of Secure Sockets Layer protocol security. Assuring a correct authentication determines giving up the long row of authentication certifications used in the classical case in order to remove the existent suspicions before starting the communication process.
