A quantum cryptography communication system includes a first data
communication unit; a second data communication unit connected with the
first data communication unit by a first optical fiber; and a third data
communication unit connected with the second data communication unit by a
second optical fiber. A first shared key is generated in the first data
communication unit and the second data communication unit, and a second
shared key is generated in the second data communication unit and the
third data communication unit. The second data communication unit
encrypts the first shared key by using the second shared key and then
transmits the encrypted first shared key to the third data communication
unit on the second optical fiber, and the third data communication unit
decrypts the encrypted first shared key by using the second shared key to
reproduce the first shared key.
