Secure and Scalable Quantum Key Distribution Protocol for Next-Generation Networks
Abstract
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) can be characterized as the revolutionary method of ensuring security in the course of the information exchange and it is based on the principles of quantum mechanics. This research presents a new QKD protocol for the future generation network solving significant issues concerning security and scalability. The designed protocol employs sophisticated methods that promote character distribution effectiveness, reduce error frequency, and integrate the investigated system into obtainable systems. In practical experiments and with the help of numerous simulations, the authors prove that the discussed protocol outperforms existing approaches and can be efficiently used in large networks and even the Internet. These results present a feasible and efficient approach for the improvement of communication security with the emerging potentials of Next Generation Networks and their role with the development of quantum cryptography and its incorporation into contemporary communication structures.
