Quantum Cryptography - Quantum Coin Tossing
Quantum cryptography uses photons polarized in different quantum states to securely transmit encryption keys. It relies on principles of quantum mechanics rather than computational complexity. The BB84 protocol is an early quantum cryptography method where a sender and receiver use different polarization bases to encode and read bits, allowing them to detect if an eavesdropper has accessed the quantum channel. Quantum coin tossing protocols use polarized photons in superposition states for two parties to randomly generate a shared bit without communicating or trusting a third party. While promising for secure communication, quantum cryptography still faces challenges from practical implementation and transmission over long distances.

- 8. Essential properties ofpolarized photons • Photons - Photons are the fundamental particle of light. – wave function : An individual photon can be described as having right or left circular polarization, or a superposition of the two. • The foundation of quantum physics is the unpredictability factor. – Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle : • Photon polarization – polarization filters, photon to take one state or another -- or polarize it. • Rectilinear basis (0 and 90 degrees) • Diagonal basis (45 and 135 degrees)
- 9. • Heisenberg uncertaintyprinciple : - states that certain pairs of physical properties are related in such a way that measuring one property prevents the observer from simultaneously knowing the value for other. • Principle of photon polarization: - tells that an eavesdropper cannot copy unknown Qubits Explanation

QKD Protocols • Aprotocol is a set of rules governing the exchange of messages over a channel. • A security protocol is a special protocol designed to ensure security properties are met during communications. • There are three main security protocols for QKD:BB84, B92, and Entanglement-Based QKD.

Eve • Unique propertygain knowledge about eve trying get the key • By using quantum superposition/entanglement and transmitting information in quantum states , a communication system can be implemented which can detect eavesdropping. • If the level of eavesdropping is below threshold , a key is produced guarantying the secure communication otherwise no secure key is possible and communication is aborted
- 13. BB84 Communication Protocol ●BB84 is a quantum key distribution scheme developed by Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard in 1984. ● It is the first quantum cryptography protocol ● Use Photon polarization ● four different non-orthogonal quantum states via a quantum channel to transmit the qubits ● A device called a polarizer allows us to place a photon in a particular polarization. A Pockels Cell can be used too. ● The polarization basis is the mapping we decide to use for a particular state
- 16. ● Let ussuppose she uses the vertical and the +45 o polarisations for encoding the 0" and the horizontal and -45 o polarisations to encode the 1" ● Bob then randomly uses either a polarizer for diagonal polarisations or one in the horizontal/vertical basis and records his choice and the polarization he measures ● Bob tells Alice on the public channel the sequence of analyzers he used during the transmission, but not his results ● Alice compares Bob's sequence with hers and tells him which bits correspond to the photons she sent ● these compatible bits are used for the shared key
- 17. BB84 with eavesdropping •If an eavesdropper Eve tries to tap the channel, this will automatically show up in Bob’s measurements. • In those cases where Alice and Bob have used the same basis, Bob is likely to obtain an incorrect measurement: Eve’s measurements are bound to affect the states of the photons. • As Eve intercepts Alice’s photons, she has to measure them with a random basis and send new photons to Bob.` • The photon states cannot be cloned (non-clone ability). • Eve’s presence is always detected: measuring a quantum system irreparably alters its state.
