Abstract

Quantum key distribution (QKD) techniques usually suffer from a gain problem when comparing the final key to the generated pulses of quantum states. This research permutes the sets that RUQB (Abu-ayyash & Ajlouni, 2008) uses in order to increase the gain. The effect of both randomness and permutations are studied; While RUQB technique improves the gain of BB84 QKD by 5.5% it was also shown that the higher the randomness of the initial key the higher the gain that can be achieved, this work concluded that the use of around 7 permutations results in 30% gain recovery in an ideal situations.
