Abstract
Quantum Key Distribution seems very promising as it offers
unconditional security, that’s why it is being implemented by the tech giants of the
networking industry and government. Having quantum phenomenon as a
backbone, QKD protocols become indecipherable. Here we have focused on the
complexities of quantum key distribution and how this technology has contributed
to secure key communication. This article gives an updated overview of this
technology and can serve as a guide to get familiar with the current trends of
quantum cryptography.
