Randomness Generation Based Quantum Key Agreement for Secured Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Network

Abstract

Randomness Generation based Quantum Key Agreement (RGQKA) technique have the route discovery phase and data packet transmission. The route discovery process finds the shortest route path from the source node to the destination node through the control message distribution. After finding the route path, RGQKA technique is carried out to transmit the data packets in a secured manner. In quantum key agreement phase, the quantum keys are randomly generated for the source node and the destination node. Then, a data packet gets encrypted in the form of binary bits. Then, binary bits are converted into qubits through randomly selected bases and sent to the destination node. Receives qubits, it decrypts the qubits to acquire the original data packet information using the same quantum key. Simulation of RGQKA technique and existing methods have parameters such as packet delivery ratio, routing overhead, packet loss, and throughput with respect to a number of data packets.
