With the measureless, huge and rapid data exchange in network environments and increasing the attackers capabilities, quantity and quality of violations in cyberspace, information security has become the most important process for data storage and communication. Reliability of traditional methods for ensuring confidentiality is questionable, taking into account contemporary threats. Thereby, search of alternative methods and means for security is urgent issue. Significant interest causes quantum cryptography, which do not depend on computing or other capabilities of intruder, uses specific unique properties of quantum particles, and based on the inviolability of quantum physics laws. One of the most advanced quantum cryptography technology is quantum secure direct communication, which can transmit information directly by open channel, but it has only asymptotic security to non-coherent attacks and, certainly requires some methods for security amplification. In this regard, high- speed privaсy amplification method for quantum cryptography protocols was developed. To evaluate the effectiveness of this method was developed a methodology for experimental research, under which comparing of its performance with known method was made. According to the obtained results, the proposed method has a speed faster against analogs at the same level of security against non-coherent attacks.
