Abstract

A simplified eavesdropping-strategy for BB84 protocol in quantum cryptography (refer to quant-ph/9812022) is proposed. This scheme implements by the `indirect copying' technology. Under this scheme, eavesdropper can exactly obtain the exchanged information between the legitimate users without being detected.

A new attack strategy for BB84 protocol based on, Breidbart basis

Dan Liu, Changxing Pei, Dongxiao Quan +2 more

A new eavesdropping strategy for BB84 quantum key distribution protocol is proposed. This scheme is a new kind of intercept/resend strategy based on Breidbart basis. Under this scheme, eavesdropper can not only exactly obtain the exchanged information between legitimate users but also decrease the probability of being detected.

A Novel Basis Splitting Eavesdropping Scheme in Quantum Cryptography Based on the BB84 Protocol

Nan Zhao, Changhua Zhu, Dongxiao Quan

We propose a novel strategy named basis-splitting scheme to split the intercepted quanta into several portions based on different bases, for eavesdropping in the process of quantum cryptography. Compared with intercept-resend strategy, our simulation results of the basis-splitting scheme under the non-ideal condition show a greater performance, especially with the increase of the length of shifted bits. Consequently our scheme can aid eavesdropper to gather much more useful information.

Eavesdropper Detection using BB84 Protocol in Quantum Cryptography

S. Jothi, A. Vijayarega

The recent application of the principles of quantum mechanics to cryptography has led to a remarkable new dimension in secret communication.Quantum Cryptography uses the principles of Quantum Mechanics to implement a cryptographic system.The key problem which is solved by using quantum techniques is that of eavesdropping detection.Conventional secret-key cryptography techniques require the communication of a secret key prior to message exchange.Quantum principles can be used to detect eavesdropping probabilistically when it occurs.The bits are represented as qubits, physically modeled by photons, and communicated over a quantum channel.The polarization states of photons represent 0's and 1's.As a result of these new developments, it is now possible to construct cryptographic communication systems which detect unauthorized eavesdropping should it occur, and which give a guarantee of no eavesdropping should it not occur.

Analysis of Quantum Cryptographic System Based on BB84 Protocol

Zhimeng Liu

Quantum cryptography is the combination between classic cryptography and the principle of quantum mechanics,and its security can be proved. Quantum cryptography system is different from public key system in exchanging secret key, which can automatically detect eavesdropping while public key system cannot accomplish this. In production and disposition of the BB84 protocol, users can authenticate identity each other by the original secret key, which can not only strengthen its security, but also improve efficiency.

Security awareness is one of the most pressing topics in today's globe. The idea of cryptography is introduced when the subject is information security. Conventional cryptography-based security techniques rely on the presumption that keys are shared before secure connections. The most crucial factor to consider when integrating cryptographic operations into account when integrating cryptographic operations in with any system is the safe key management strategy required for sending and transferring a secret key between two entities The systems will be vulnerable to bugs and possibly fatal external assaults if the fundamental management methods are poor A method for securely encrypting data sent between parties is quantum cryptography. and spotting eavesdroppers trying to overhear the conversation. Quantum cryptography may be the solution to these issues a quantum cryptography application, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), refers to the production of a cryptographic key with unconditional security assured by physical rules. Quantum cryptography is a kind of encryption. We examine the quantum key exchange protocol (BB84 protocol) in this study and the way that it significantly improves data transfer security when compared to standard encryption techniques. The main objective of quantum cryptography is to offer a trustworthy way to provide a secure method of communication between the intended peers only and to detect the Eavesdropper presence.
