Intercept-Resend attack on quantum key distribution protocols with two, three and four-state systems. Comparative analysis

Description: The existing studies proved the importance of Quantum Key Distribution protocols, from which the greatest part have been known until now only as theoretical models. Starting from the mathematical models of Quantum Key Distribution protocols with two, three and four-state systems, we implemented software to each of them. This paper presents the comparative analysis of the data obtained from the simulation of a cybernetic attack of Intercept-Resend type over each protocol. It have been followed the variation of the size of cryptographic keys and the percentage of errors, according to the dimension of input data.
