SSK Initiated by Third Party and Superposition Submissions
Abstract
Quantum cryptography is considered an absolute solution for sharing secret information into a secure channel. Establishing a quantum cryptography process into an exciting system requires a package of stable methods and tools. One of these methods is based on creating a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol or sharing a secret key. This poster presents a QKD protocol that utilizes two quantum channels to prepare a shared secret key. The first communication channel will be initiated by entanglement states, where the entangled photons will be emitted by a trusted third party. The second communication channel utilizes the superposition states that will be initiated by one of the communicated parties (Alice or Bob). Moreover, the protocol produces a string of random qubits after verifying the communicated legitimate parties during entangled state channels. The produced string will reflect the shared secret key (SSK) between the users.
