Advanced encryption standard development based quantum key distribution

Abstract

This paper presents a development of the advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm, which is considered as the most important symmetric encryption algorithm. The development focuses on the generation of dynamic quantum S-Boxes (DQS-Boxes) based quantum cipher key, instead of the ordinary used static S-Boxes. Moreover, the paper introduces the integration between the developed AES based DQS-Boxes, and the specific selected secret key generated from the QKD using two different modes (online and off-line).
