Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Kit
Hands-On Learning in Quantum-Secure Communication
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Kit
Unlock the future of secure communication with our Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Kit – a complete educational and experimental platform designed to demonstrate and implement three foundational QKD protocols: BB84, SARG04, and B92.
Built on the principles of quantum mechanics, this kit allows students, researchers, and educators to explore how cryptographic keys can be exchanged securely over optical channels, while detecting and preventing eavesdropping attempts.
Our kit includes a step-by-step experiment set to make learning interactive

Explore and Experiment with Core Quantum Key Distribution Protocols
Supported QKD Protocols
BB84 Protocol
The first and most widely used QKD protocol, developed by Bennett and Brassard (1984).
• Uses non-orthogonal states for secure key exchange.
• Detects eavesdropping attempts automatically.
• Ideal for learning the foundations of quantum cryptography.
SARG04 Protocol
A robust variant of BB84, designed to resist Photon Number Splitting (PNS) attacks.
• Uses a novel key-sifting mechanism.
• More secure for systems using weak coherent pulses.
• Great for advanced learning on practical QKD systems.
B92 Protocol
A simplified protocol using only two non-orthogonal states.
• Streamlined design, easy to implement.
• Perfect for education and beginner experiments.
• Retains the core principles of quantum security.
With this kit, learners will
• Understand quantum bits (qubits) through polarization.
• See how measurement collapses quantum states.
• Learn to detect eavesdropping through QBER analysis.
• Apply quantum-generated keys in real encryption.
