Abstract

Quantum key distribution is a technique that permits the secure distribution of a bit string, used as key in cryptographic protocols. The security is guaranteed by suitable coding of the information in a quantum property and from the fact that a quantum cannot be both split and cloned. In this paper, we give details and show the results of an experimental realization of the B92 quantum key distribution protocol in 1550 nm telecom window.

Deployment of security vulnerabilities in Quantum Cryptographic & QKD using B92 protocol

Maruf Pasha, Rabbiah Zaheer, Amjad Ali +2 more

Secure communication has always been a key concern while sharing information between two parties. Traditional and lightweight cryptography primitives and protocols are insecure against quantum attacks. The objective of cryptography is to ensure confidentiality, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation between both parties. Quantum key distribution is a safe and sound method for communication between two parties to share their information. However early applications with applied limitations lead to open ambiguities, permitting an eavesdropper to breach the security of quantum cryptographic system. This research proposes a framework for quantum key distribution using B92 protocol. The B92 protocol allows two different users A to share their polarized photons with high security and without any interruption of Eavesdropper. While B92 protocol generates a secrete key, that is known to just sender and receiver. The use of QuVis framework can provide this secure communication and photons are transferred to Bob securely without any Eavesdropper.

Performance Evaluation of Secure Key Distribution Based on the B92 Protocol

Brahim Ouchao, Abdeslam Jakimi

Quantum Cryptography (QKD) uses the laws of Quantum Mechanics to create new cryptographic primitives.Precisely, this technique is based on two laws of quantum mechanics, namely uncertainty principle and no-cloning theorem.The best known QKD is the BB84 protocol published by Bennett and Brassard in 1984.Since then, various QKD protocols have been developed for example a B92 protocol.This latter is similar to that of BB84but this time using only two non-orthogonal states of the four states of BB84.In this work, we develop the java simulation B92 protocol and we give some details of the implementation.Next, we show by an example how Alice (Initiator) can configure the protocol parameters before execution.Finally, we give the statistical results allowing to compare this protocol with that of BB84.

Detecção de Fotóns Isolados em 1550 nm: Simulação e Resultados Experimentais

George Thé, Rubens Viana Ramos

Quantum key distribution is a new technique that permits secure distribution of a bit string, used as key in cryptographic protocols. The security is guaranteed by suitable coding of the information in a quantum property and from the fact that a quantum cannot be both split and cloned. The present quantum-cryptographic protocols use a quantum (photon in optical systems) to carry the information. Hence, for the construction of an optical set up able to run quantum-cryptographic protocols, it is necessary use single-photon detectors. In this paper, numerical simulations and experimental results of single-photon detectors, in 1550 nm, using avalanche photodiode are shown.

Analysis of Quantum Key Distribution Protocols

Myat Su Win, Thet Thet Khin

Essential role of Internet-based communication is the security of information. Classical Cryptography is based on mathematical models and computational complexity to compute the secret key. It does not provide enough security because finding a fast method to calculate the secret key will compromise the security of the system. Quantum Key Distribution is one of the most promising methods which provide unconditional security. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) uses a quantum property in exchanging information called photons, as carriers of information in security systems, and QKD cannot separate from protocols BB84, B92 and BBM92. In this paper, we are testing the probability error comparison of BB84 protocol, B92 protocol, and BBM92 using QuVis simulator software. The results show that the B92 protocol is more relevant in detecting eavesdropping in lower error rates than the other two protocols.

Performance Analysis of Quantum Key Distribution B92 Protocol Using Qiskit

Eko Wahyu Prasetyo, Cahya Damarjati, Muhammad Nazih Mahmudi +1 more

Quantum Key Distribution is a cornerstone of secure communication, utilizing quantum mechanics to achieve unparalleled security. This study evaluates the performance of the B92 protocol, a simplified scheme using non-orthogonal states, through simulation with Python3 and the Qiskit library. The research focuses on the variability of key lengths and the ability of the protocol to detect eavesdropping attempts. Results show an average key length of 14.3 bits per 100 transmitted qubits, with variability ranging from 3 to 29 bits. Detection accuracy improves significantly with sample size, achieving 95% accuracy with a sample size of 5 and 100% with a sample size of 10. These findings highlight the trade-off between key length and detection reliability, emphasizing the importance of optimization. While simulations confirm the protocol’s robustness, further studies under real-world conditions are essential. This work advances the understanding of quantum cryptographic systems and lays the foundation for secure quantum communication.
