Abstract :
A new eavesdropping strategy for BB84 quantum key distribution protocol is proposed. This scheme is a new kind of intercept/resend strategy based on Breidbart basis. Under this scheme, eavesdropper can not only exactly obtain the exchanged information between legitimate users but also decrease the probability of being detected.
