Abstract: Quantum key distribution is the latest advancement in quantum cryptography. There are several QKD protocols like BB84, B92, Ekert91, COW, SARG04, etc. out of which B92 is the second protocol developed in 1992 based on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. In this paper we are discussing first about the related work for the simulation of QKD protocols, second the simulation of B92 and proposed protocol is elaborated and then we compare the performance of B92 with the proposed protocol and proving proposed protocol much better in case of average key length and error rate. Object-oriented approach is used in the simulation designing of new protocol and B92 protocol.

Keywords: B92 simulation; QKD protocols; quantum cryptography; proposed protocol; variation of B92.
