Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsQuantum Cryptography with Several Cloning AttacksMustapha Dehmani, Hamid Ez-Zahraouy, Abdelilah BenyoussefProblem statement: In a previous research, we investigated the quantum key distribution of the well known BB84 protocol with several intercept and resend attacks. In the present research, we studied the effect of many eavesdroppers cloning attacks of the Bennett-Brassard cryptographic protocol on the quantum error and mutual information between honest parties and information with sender for each eavesdropper. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,293 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantum Key Distribution Using Decoy State ProtocolSellami Ali, Shuhairi Saharudin, M. R.B. WahiddinProblem statement: Quantum key distribution provides unconditional security guaranteed by the fundamental laws of quantum physics. Unfortunately, for real-life experimental set-ups, which mainly based on faint laser pulses, the occasional production of multi-photons and channel loss make it possible for sophisticated eavesdroppers to launch various subtle eavesdropping attacks including the Photon Number Splitting (PNS) attack. The decoy state protocols recently … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,434 accessesView PDFCite
