description The security of the continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) system is subject to various attacks by hackers. The traditional detection method of parameter estimation requires professionals to judge known attacks individually, so the general detection model emerges to improve the universality of detection; however, current universal detection methods only consider the independent existence of attacks but ignore the possible coexistence of multiple attacks in reality. Here, we propose two multi-attack neural network detection models to handle the coexistence of multiple attacks. The models adopt two methods in multi-label learning: binary relevance (BR) and label power (LP) to deal with the coexistence of multiple attacks and can identify attacks in real-time by autonomously learning the features of known attacks in a deep neural network. Further, we improve the model to detect unknown attacks simultaneously. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can achieve high-precision detection for most known and unknown attacks without reducing the key rate and maximum transmission distance.
