Quantum Key Distribution (Man-In-The­Middle Attack)

Abstract

While the use of Quantum Key Distribution is very secure, some faults can occur, specifically, that can create a man-in-the-middle attack. In this poster, we study how the man-in­the-middle attack can occur and why Quantum Key Distribution is still the superior encryption choice. Applying Post-Quantum Cryptography (FALCON Algorithm) to the Quantum Key Distribution should create more secure encryption that would be able to keep a man-in-the-middle attack from happening.
