It all begun by the early 1970s through, the work of Stephen Wiesner and Gilles Brassard, who introduced the concept of quantum conjugate coding, and it has now stretched to a level where today's agile communication systems constitute a substantial challenge for data security and safety. A number of research has been performed to achieve secure communication among legitimate parties in which QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) is prominent. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), also called Quantum Cryptography, enables two communicating parties to share secret cryptographic keys with security that is theoretically guaranteed by the laws of quantum mechanics, assuming ideal conditions. However, practical implementations may be vulnerable to certain attacks, and the security of QKD can be compromised by imperfections in hardware, side-channel attacks, or limitations in real-world setups. In a practical QKD setup, two stations send and receive encoded quantum particles and some classical information. The most rudimentary and well-known QKD protocol is BB84, developed by Bennet and Brassard in 1984. We have developed the simulation and achieved the secret shared key with and without an intruder.

A method to improve the BB84 protocol

Liliana Zisu

Quantum cryptography, the principles of which are based on classical mechanics laws, solves exceptionally the issue of key distribution in classical cryptography. BB84, the first quantum key distribution created by Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard in 1984 offers unconditional security and allows the transmission of a key with the length equal to the length of the message. According to Vernom, using the key with the above feature once together with an encryption algorithm leads to the formation of a most secure cryptographic system. The paper presents a method for improving the BB84 quantum protocol, using ten states of polarization, quantum memory and direct communication in both directions. The implementation of both the proposed method and the BB84 protocol was done through a C# application.
