Abstract :
Key distribution is the function that delivers a key to two parties who wish to communicate with each other in secure manner. Therefore, key distribution must be secure enough to thwart any attempts to compromise the system. In this paper we introduce a secure key distribution system based on quantum theory. The proposed algorithm provides a secure way to distribute, or exchange the key that recognizes any comprise of the quantum communication channel.
