Unsupervised ML Based Anomaly Detection for Securing BB84 QKD Against Intercept-Resend Attacks and Channel Noise: OC-SVM, iForest, and Ex-iForest
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) using the BB84 protocol offers the potential for information-theoretic security based upon the principles of quantum mechanics; however, eavesdropping mechanisms such as intercept-resend attacks and ambient noise sources that degrade quantum channel fidelity may render such systems exploi...
