Abstract
Wireless networks are growing tremendously and their applications are also becoming prominent from day to day [5]. As wireless applications are becoming popular, the security issues [3] related to 802. 11 are also has a great consideration. These are gaining popularity because of their mobility, low cost, convenience and easy establishment. Among many wireless networks, the 802. 11 has a large amount of users than compared to the others globally. The key which is used for encrypting and decrypting purpose plays a crucial role between users. As the wireless networks are open guide medium of wireless communications [3] , there is possibility for hackers to snoop on confidential communications. There is a chance to modify them to gain the access to the wireless networks more easily. In the key distribution of quantum is done according to Heisenberg uncertainty Principle. We will be focusing on Quantum Key Distribution which offers a high level security between two communication parties with the help of novel protocol. We will also focusing on the analysis of experimental results focusing on the different phases of protocol.
