Quantum Key Distribution (BB84)
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) BB84 is a cryptographic protocol allowing two parties to establish a shared secret key using quantum mechanics. Proposed by Bennett and Brassard in 1984, BB84 provides information-theoretic security: an eavesdropper's presence is guaranteed to be detected, and the secret key is provably secure against unlimited computational power.
