Desarrollo de un simulador para el protocolo de criptografía cuántica E91 en un ambiente distribuido

Abstract

The objective of this research work is the development of an application which is capable of simulating the behavior of one of the main developed protocols of quantum cryptography, the protocol E91. In order to achieve this objective, it was essential to carry out an exhaustive investigation of the main concepts, principles and theorems of quantum mechanics; as well as the study of other quantum cryptographic protocols and their development today. With all the collected information, the development of the application begun, starting with the definition of the requirements, then implementing and subsequently testing the application, which allows compiling all the work of analysis and design. The obtained results show the strengths and weaknesses of the application for the secure distribution of a quantum final key. Although this work is primarily the development of the implementation that simulates the behavior of the E91 protocol, it is essentially demonstrative.
