Abstract
The aim of quantum cryptography is to overcome the everlasting problem of unrestricted security in private communication. The usage of the quantum principles protects the privacy of the user data during the time it is in the transmission process over the telecommunication channels. The sophisticated algorithm we have developed will make the data meaningless to eavesdroppers. The security of modern cryptography systems has been accomplished by using a long key that will require many years to launch a brute force attack. Therefore, we designed an efficient algorithm that is developed based on BB84 and B92 techniques. In this paper, we utilized the classic features of quantum mechanism, such as superposition and uncertainty principle. We present the underlining mechanisms of quantum cryptography that enhances the security of data transmission in three stages with valid results that promise a low rate of errors that leads to a strong consistent key by raising the constraint of the security concept.
