A novel quantum key distribution protocol is presented, based on entanglement and dense coding and allowing asymptotically secure key distribution. Considering the storage time limit of quantum bits, a grouping quantum key distribution protocol is proposed, which overcomes the vulnerability of first protocol and improves the maneuverability. Moreover, a security analysis is given and a simple type of eavesdropper’s attack would introduce at least an error rate of 46.875%. Compared with the “Ping-pong” protocol involving two steps, the proposed protocol does not need to store the qubit and only involves one step.

“…The measure of key material in the capacity at the estimation time t can be determined utilizing Equation (1), while the normal operational rate can be determined utilizing Equation (2). In-network test systems, such tasks are basic since they decrease the execution time and spare computational assets.…”

“…Secured communication is a notional term that can cause serious transmission and reception issues. The current solutions to this problem are mostly based on a public key infrastructure (PKI) which depends on suspicions for identifying an eavesdropper and is not very accurate [1]. Thus, the researchers identify other methods of encrypting the data using a quantum channel.…”

The aim is to analyze the efficiency of a communication method, Quantum key distribution. This newly popularized method of communication uses the principles of quantum mechanics. The simulation environment allows researchers to create complex network topologies and a high degree of control and repeatable experiments, allowing them to conduct studies and verify their outcomes. It would be costly to implement QKD in reality, which would need optical and Internet connections between network nodes and the verification of a certain network method or protocol. Thus, the performance analysis here is done in open-source software called NS-3 or Network Simulator- 3, which has an in-built module called QKD netsim for creating the quantum channel.

“…Earlier theoretical research has been performed on analysis of QKD protocols [10,11] , and to model real-world QKD systems [12]. Early stage research activities were limited to idealistic design of QKD protocols [13][14][15] and they * usinha@rri.res.in also considered only a few optical components [16][17][18][19][20]. Web-based tool-kits that simulate QKD basics primarily for educational purposes have also been developed [21][22][23].…”

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is one of the most important aspects of quantum cryptography. Using laws of quantum mechanics as the basis for security, the key distribution process is made information theoretically secure in QKD. With the advancement and commercialization of QKD, an end-to-end QKD simulation software is required that can include experimental imperfections. Software of this kind will ensure that resources are invested only after prior performance analysis, and is faithful to experimental capacities and limitations. In this work, we introduce our QKD simulation toolkit qkdSim, which is ultimately aimed at being developed into such a software package that can precisely model and analyse any generic QKD protocol. We present the design, implementation and testing of a prototype of qkdSim that can accurately simulate our own experimental demonstration of the B92 protocol. The simulation results match well with experiment; a representative key rate and QBER from experiment is 51 ± 0.5 Kbits/sec and 4.79% ± 0.01% respectively, wherein the simulation yields 52.83 ± 0.36 Kbits/sec and 4.79% ± 0.01% respectively.
