Recent technological advancements have made it possible to communicate effectively. Communication's primary goal is to share information among users. Security in data communication is currently plagued by numerous issues. Quantum cryptography, a state-of-the-art cryptography technique, is used to solve problems.

Abstract Network security is critical for both personal and business networks. Most homes with high – speed internet have one or more wireless routers, which can be hacked if not adequately secured. Even though, if more number of solutions were addressed for security, still the security is challenging one in networks.Quantum Key Distribution was proposed to enhance security in the past literature. In this QKD, the secret message was converted in to Q-bits. Through this side channel, there is a chance to hack the data by the Eavesdropper which cannot be identified by the receiver side. So, receiver will send the acknowledgement to the sender for sending encrypted data in the classical channel.From this, the hacker can easily fetch the encrypted data from the classical channel. To address this issue, Security in Quantum side Channel (SQSC) framework has been proposed in which Shifting and Binary Conversions (SBC) algorithm has been implemented. This proposed security model attains good performance to a greater extent.
Abstract Cloud storages are currently crucial for data storage due to the rapid rise in data demand. However, there are security concerns with cloud computing, such as holes that allow hackers to access or edit data. Such that the data security algorithms are utilized. The primary issue is how to securely distribute the encryption key among users, which is why numerous techniques have been created. Hackers may be able to access the secret key with the use of cutting-edge quantum computers. To avoid those problems quantum key distribution methods are developed. The presented work uses some preprocessing techniques like shifting and binary conversion together with block re-ordering method, fuzzification process, and block re-ordering method to identify and address side channel assaults, one of the issues in the quantum key distribution algorithms. By minimizing security losses, the Binary Conversion and Block Reordering with Fuzzification procedure improve the accuracy and authenticity of the data. According to the experimental findings, the mean rate of security harms using Binary Conversion and Block reordering with Fuzzifcation method is 0.69, whereas the mean rate using conventional approaches is 11.0, with standard deviations of 0.3785 and 6.055, respectively.
Abstract Realistic quantum key distribution (QKD) systems suffer from side-channel attacks, which manipulate single-photon detectors. Although measurement-device-independent QKD schemes were proposed to free QKD parties (Alice and Bob) from such measurement devices, these schemes are not easy to be implemented in practice because they require precise synchronization between signals from distant parties. On the other hand, differential phase shift (DPS) QKD is a simple system for practical implementation with current optical equipment. In this study, we propose a simple modification in DPS QKD to prevent side-channel attacks (control blinding and controlling attacks) such that Bob randomly attenuates the incoming signal. This modification allows Bob to utilize photon statistics during attenuated time slots in DPS-QKD systems, using which the side-channel attacks are revealed.
The accelerating development of quantum computing capabilities poses an unprecedented challenge to conventional encryption methodologies that currently underpin global digital security infrastructure. Classical cryptographic systems, including widely adopted standards such as RSA and AES, derive their security from the computational intractability of specific mathematical problems, a foundation that quantum algorithms threaten to fundamentally undermine. This research presents a comprehensive investigation into the practical implementation of Quantum Key Distribution as a transformative approach to establishing unconditionally secure communication channels. Through experimental deployment of the BB84 protocol augmented with advanced quantum error correction and privacy amplification techniques, we systematically evaluate the performance characteristics and security guarantees of QKD in realistic network environments. Our experimental framework achieves a secure key generation rate of 2.5 megabits per second while maintaining an average quantum bit error rate of 3.2 percent, demonstrating the practical viability of quantum-secured communication. The implementation exhibits exceptional eavesdropping detection capabilities with a 98.5 percent success rate in identifying unauthorized interception attempts. Comparative security analysis reveals that QKD-based encryption reduces vulnerability to brute-force attacks by 65 percent when contrasted with classical encryption standards. The integration of lattice-based post-quantum cryptographic algorithms provides an additional security layer against store-now-decrypt-later attack strategies. These findings substantiate the position of Quantum Key Distribution as a cornerstone technology for next-generation cybersecurity frameworks, offering robust protection against both current threats and the anticipated capabilities of large-scale quantum computers.
The burgeoning Internet and Internet-of-Things (IoT) sectors necessitate robust cryptographic methods to ensure data security, integrity, and authentication over unsecured networks. Traditional public key cryptography, reliant on computationally hard problems, faces threats from quantum computing advancements. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) presents a solution through the generation of unconditionally secure cryptographic keys using quantum mechanics. This paper explores the enhancement of QKD protocols to establish secure end-to-end communication in photonic networks. The proposed method involves a QKD system that generates two types of weak quantum signals: one with randomly varied intensity, polarization, or phase, and another with random frequency fluctuations. These signals are used to establish a shared key between a transmitter (Alice) and multiple receivers (Bobs) by measuring the quantum states. This dual signal approach enhances protection against Photon Number Splitting attacks and improves key length. Key Management Agents (KMAs) securely handle QKD-generated keys for data encryption before transmission, ensuring only intended recipients can decrypt the messages. The system leverages optical fiber or free-space optical links to transmit weak quantum signals and synchronization signals, facilitating key distribution even under existing network constraints. The proposed architecture allows for the secure exchange of cryptographic keys between Alice and multiple Bobs, ensuring private and authenticated communication over public channels. The approach mitigates potential eavesdropping by enabling the detection of any interception attempts through Quantum Bit Error Rate (QBER) estimation. This study underscores the promise of QKD as a foundational element of future communication systems, providing uncrackable quantum keys and paving the way for secure photonic networks. Incremental advancements in quantum devices, networking, and infrastructure are essential to fully realize QKD's potential for robust cryptographic security.
