Abstract

In order to protect and secure the sensitive data over the internet, the current data security methods typically depend on the cryptographic systems. Recent achievements in quantum computing is a major challenge to such cryptography systems. In this way, the quantum key distribution (QKD) technique evolves as a very important technique which gives un-conditional data security. This technique is based on the laws of quantum physics for its security. This article gives a detailed description of the QKD technique. This technique secures the encryption key delivery between the two authenticated parties from the unauthorized access. In the next phase, quantum cryptography model is discussed. Finally, some important application areas and limitations of this technology are be discussed.

A Secure Method of Communication in Conventional Cryptography using Quantum Key Distribution

Chunduru Anilkumar, Bhavani Gorle, Kinthali Sowmya

Security knowledge is one of the foremost challenges in the present day. When the topic is about Information security, the concept of cryptography comes into the picture. Every day, people and organizations use cryptography to maintain the confidentiality of their communications and data as well as to preserve their privacy. Today, one of the most successful methods used by businesses to protect their storage systems, whether at rest or in transit, is cryptography. Yet, cryptography is an effective technique to secure the data, the modern technology can break the cryptographic techniques. But some data encryption algorithms are several times stronger than today's conventional cryptography and can be constructed using quantum computing. They are "Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms ". Quantum cryptography uses the rules of quantum physics instead of classical encryption, which is based on mathematics, to protect and transmit data in a way that cannot be intercepted. Quantum key distribution is the greatest illustration of quantum cryptography and offers a safe solution to the key exchange issue. The proposed work deals with quantum cryptography and mainly focuses on how the quantum cryptographic algorithm is more secure than traditional cryptography.

Secure method of communication using Quantum Key Distribution

Surya Prakash Yalla, Archana Uriti, Abhisek Sethy +1 more

Secure communication plays a vital role now-a-days. Modern-day secure communication is made possible via cryptography. Modern cryptographic algorithms are based on the process of factoring large integers into their primes, as they are intractable. But the cryptography nowadays is vulnerable to technological advances in computing power like quantum computing and evolution in math to quickly reverse one-way functions like factorization of large integers. Incorporating quantum physics concepts into cryptography is the answer, which results in an assessment of quantum cryptography. A unique type of cryptography known as quantum cryptography makes advantage of quantum mechanics to provide complete protection against the transmitted message. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), a random binary key distribution used in quantum cryptography, enables communication participants to recognize unauthorized listeners. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is likely the most advanced quantum technology currently accessible with full stack systems already in use. This project’s goal is to develop secure and encrypted communication between the parties with the help of a web application using the BB84 protocol.

Secure sharing of secret key on insecure channel using Quantum key distribution

Shirish Kumar Shrikant Jagdale

In today’s era of internet and network application, need for security has become of vital importance. Most of our important data is stored in computer and recently on cloud, also whenever we need to send data to some other person, we make use of internet thus, need of data security becomes increasingly important. Protecting important sensitive data against any unauthorized access is a major concern. Cryptography is one of the methods to safeguard all our important data from being stolen or intercepted by unwanted person. We can rely on classical cryptography for securing our data however, with the advancement of computation they are being phased out. Therefore, Quantum Key Distribution promises a secure key agreement by using law of quantum mechanics thus, QKD becomes a significant trend of new cryptographic revolution. This paper explains how QKD is used for secure sharing of key between two entities i.e. Alice and Bob and further using this shared key for encryption and decryption of text data. In addition to this, paper also discuss about implementation of QKD-BB84 protocol and test result indicates that QKD is secure against man-in-the-middle attack. However, physically implementing QKD is a greatest challenge due to need of Quantum computers and cost of setup.
