Abstract
Quantum mechanics is the basic principle which is applied in the cryptographic scenario of quantum cryptography. Present paper provides a conceptual framework on the high level security protocol in Quantum cryptography. This is used as a base for data security through quantum computing in modern cryptosystem. In this paper first of all a detailed description of BB84 protocol with noise and without noise is explained, then a detailed description of mathematical analysis done by [1] on entropy security is also shown. Finally the result of the experimental work done on Matlab is shown. Our work reveals that at only 37 % bit of the key, we get maximum entropy security in communication network. . In this approach it is also possible to manage security as well as personalize services based on Quantum cryptography in better way.
