Quantum Information Encryption: A Quantum Key Distribution Protocol Based on Quantum Entanglement

Jincheng Zhang

This paper explores the design of a novel quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol leveraging quantum entanglement to enhance key security and improve key distribution efficiency. Traditional QKD protocols rely on static key generation, presenting vulnerabilities to potential eavesdropping. This research proposes a dynamic entanglement-based approach that introduces inherent security through the continuous alteration of quantum states. We detail the core mechanism, its advantages, and potential challenges associated with this new protocol. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications for future QKD systems, emphasizing the potential for enhanced security and efficiency.
