Eavesdropper Detection using BB84 Protocol in Quantum Cryptography

S. Jothi, A. Vijayarega

The recent application of the principles of quantum mechanics to cryptography has led to a remarkable new dimension in secret communication.Quantum Cryptography uses the principles of Quantum Mechanics to implement a cryptographic system.The key problem which is solved by using quantum techniques is that of eavesdropping detection.Conventional secret-key cryptography techniques require the communication of a secret key prior to message exchange.Quantum principles can be used to detect eavesdropping probabilistically when it occurs.The bits are represented as qubits, physically modeled by photons, and communicated over a quantum channel.The polarization states of photons represent 0's and 1's.As a result of these new developments, it is now possible to construct cryptographic communication systems which detect unauthorized eavesdropping should it occur, and which give a guarantee of no eavesdropping should it not occur.

Quantum cryptography using frequency-division transmission of optical phase

Quantum cryptography is a recently developed technique for secure communication based on the principles of quantum mechanics. It permits two parties, who share no secret information initially, to establish between themselves a shared secret sequence of bits and then communicate over an open channel.

CLASSICAL CORRELATION IN QUANTUM DIALOGUE

Yong-Gang Tan, Qing-yu Cai

Classical communications are used in the post-processing procedure of quantum key distribution. Since the security of quantum key distribution is based on the principles of quantum mechanics, intuitively, the secret key can only be derived from the quantum states. We find that classical communications are incorrectly used in the so-called quantum dialogue type protocols. In these protocols, public communications are used to transmit secret messages. Our calculations show that half of Alice's and Bob's secret message is leaked through the classical channel. By applying the Holevo bound, we can see that the quantum efficiency claimed in the quantum dialogue type of protocols is not achievable.
