Abstract

This paper presents a novel key agreement protocol leveraging the principles of quantum entanglement. The protocol, termed the "Quantum Entanglement Key Agreement Protocol" (QEKAP), aims to establish a shared secret key between two parties, Alice and Bob, without relying on classical communication channels for key exchange. The core of the protocol utilizes entangled photon pairs to generate correlated random keys, followed by the application of quantum error correction codes to mitigate the effects of noise and ensure accurate key transmission. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach and highlight its potential advantages over traditional key exchange methods, specifically addressing vulnerabilities associated with eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. The protocol's security rests on the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics, namely the no-cloning theorem and the uncertainty principle. The key parameters influencing the protocol's performance, such as entanglement fidelity and the overhead introduced by the quantum error correction scheme, are analyzed. Simulation results indicate that QEKAP provides a robust and secure solution for key distribution in quantum networks.
