Quantum Key Agreement simulation using pattern-based encoding

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel dynamic multi-party key agreement method. The algorithm proposed is used for an individual or a group of receivers. The algorithm imbibes a unique method of storing the bits resulting in reduced retransmission. The algorithm uses pattern-based private key generation to encode the message. The private key is mutually decided and agreed upon by the sender and the intended recipient. The message is represented in a block cipher while the transmission occurs row-wise. Providing an opportunity to jumble the message according to the pattern before the transmission. Due to row-based transmission, the bandwidth requirement and channel utilization are efficient. The algorithm reduces the probability of interception such that all the channels should be inferred correctly to identify the key hence decoding the message. The algorithm is implemented, the results are simulated and verified.
