Key Distribution Using Dual Quantum Channels
Di Jin, Pramode K. Verma, Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos · 2008
Quantum key distribution has been a relatively recent addition to data security and integrity. It is based on advanced ideas that emanate from Quantum theory. Additionally, the optical network and the quantum photon provide a formidable basis for the application of quantum key distribution. We propose a new way of distributing encryption keys over quantum channels. The proposed method takes advantage of dual quantum channels between the communicating entities and complementary measuring bases in order to improve the efficiency with which the keys can be exchanged.
