Abstract

Due to the necessity for using the security to the end-users, the conventional methods for security are not sufficient for the highly equipped attacker and new ways to violate security. Moreover, the quantum age is coming and brings more vulnerability to classical security techniques. On the other hand, Quantum security relies on the natural physical phenomena (quantum mechanics) and gives a suitable and strong way for security. One of the quantum security protocols is BB84 that depends on the polarization of photons. This paper proposes a new method for the simulation of quantum key distribution (QKD) in the BB84 protocol. The method is practical to use; moreover, it is flexible and can implement any required number of photons as quantum bits, also, the paper evaluates the technique with other techniques that generate and simulate QKD.
