A Novel Basis Splitting Eavesdropping Scheme in Quantum Cryptography Based on the BB84 ProtocolSupported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant Nos 61301171 and 61372076, the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities of China under Grant No K5051301018, the National 111 Project of Higher Education of China under Grant No B8038

We propose a novel strategy named basis-splitting scheme to split the intercepted quanta into several portions based on different bases, for eavesdropping in the process of quantum cryptography. Compared with intercept-resend strategy, our simulation results of the basis-splitting scheme under the n...

Description
Summary:We propose a novel strategy named basis-splitting scheme to split the intercepted quanta into several portions based on different bases, for eavesdropping in the process of quantum cryptography. Compared with intercept-resend strategy, our simulation results of the basis-splitting scheme under the non-ideal condition show a greater performance, especially with the increase of the length of shifted bits. Consequently our scheme can aid eavesdropper to gather much more useful information.
