 Three Party Authentications for key Distributed Protocol using
Implicit and Explicit Quantum Cryptography

ABSTRACT

The combination of 3AQKDP (implicit) and 3AQKDPMA (explicit) quantum

cryptography is used to provide authenticated secure communication between sender and
receiver.

In quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution protocols (QKDPs) employ quantum

mechanisms to distribute session keys and public discussions to check for eavesdroppers and
verify the correctness of a session key. However, public discussions require additional
communication rounds between a sender and receiver. The advantage of quantum cryptography
easily resists replay and passive attacks.

A 3AQKDP with implicit user authentication, which ensures that confidentiality, is only
possible for legitimate users and mutual authentication is achieved only after secure
communication using the session key start.

An implicit quantum key distribution protocol (3AQKDP) have two phases such as setup
phase and distribution phase to provide three party authentications with secure session key
distribution. In this system there is no mutual understanding between sender and receiver. Both
sender and receiver should communicate over trusted center.

An explicit quantum key distribution protocol (3AQKDPMA) have two phases such as
setup phase and distribution phase to provide three party authentications with secure session key
distribution. It have mutual understanding between sender and receiver. Both sender and receiver
should communicate directly with authentication of trusted center.

Disadvantage of separate process 3AQKDP and 3AQKDPMA were providing the

authentication only for message, to identify the security threads in the message. Not identify the
security threads in the session key.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS:

EXISTING SYSTEM

 In classical cryptography, three-party key distribution protocols utilize challengeresponse

mechanisms or time-stamps to prevent replay attacks.

 However, challengeresponse mechanisms require atleast two communication rounds

between the TC and participants, and the timestamp approach needs the assumption of
clock synchronization which is not practical in distributed systems (due to the
unpredictable nature of network delays and potential hostile attacks) .

 Furthermore, classical cryptography cannot detect the existence of passive attacks such as
eavesdropping. This fact can then be used to reduce the number of rounds of other
protocols based on challenge-response mechanisms to a trusted center (and not only
three-party authenticated key distribution protocols).

LIMITATIONS

Disadvantage of separate process 3AQKDP and 3AQKDPMA were provide the

authentication only for message, to identify the security threads in the message. Not
identify the security threads in the session key.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

In quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution protocols (QKDPs) employ quantum

mechanisms to distribute session keys and public discussions to check for eavesdroppers and
verify the correctness of a session key. However, public discussions require additional
communication rounds between a sender and receiver and cost precious qubits. By contrast,
classical cryptography provides convenient techniques that enable efficient key verification and
user authentication.

PROBLEM FORMULATION

This work presents combination of classical cryptography (existing) and quantum

cryptography (proposed). Two three-party QKDPs, one with implicit user authentication and the
other with explicit mutual authentication used to make authentication using quantum mechanism.

In classical cryptography provides convenient techniques that enable efficient key

verification and user authentication but it is not identify eavesdropping. Here, the enhanced key
distribution protocol using classical and quantum cryptography will improve the security and
authentication

Software Requirement Specification

The software requirement specification is produced at the culmination of the analysis
task. The function and performance allocated to software as part of system engineering are
refined by establishing a complete information description as functional representation, a
representation of system behavior, an indication of performance requirements and design
constraints, appropriate validation criteria.

 Swing - Swing is a set of classes that provides more powerful and flexible components
that are possible with AWT. In addition to the familiar components, such as button
checkboxes and labels, swing supplies several exciting additions, including tabbed panes,
scroll panes, trees and tables.
