Abstract

Quantum cryptography is constantly growing branch which is offering huge challenge to classical cryptography. Quantum key distribution often abbreviated as QKD is based on basic principles of quantum mechanics. Principles like Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, No-cloning theorem and Entanglement are underlying principles in key assumptions in quantum cryptography. Quantum key distribution is very popular application of quantum cryptography and many companies and government agencies are implementing it. Researchers across globe are suggesting more and more real life applications of quantum key distribution. Compare to classical key distribution, quantum key distribution is future proof and not constrained to advances in computing power. In this paper we are discussing different quantum key distribution protocols and work done by many research scholars.
