ABSTRACT

In our days Iot technology used in a wide aspect of life and became an important topic for researchers in the scope of the technologies. Although all these benefits it needs more security and stays have security intimidation, such as data breaking or channel attacks via eavesdroppers and viruses, especially when the people used IoT for long distance for example for city or country, etc. or even using IoT to transfer secret information about things in big offices, for this reasons needed to use a method which increases IoT security and protection our special data. In this paper, we will use the internet of things IoT with quantum key distribution (QKD) and block cipher RC6 algorithm, where QKD is the science and art of using the quantum mechanical effect to perform cryptographic tasks and generates a secret key. Also, we need to overcome the loss of information which occurs because the information transition effected by noise or outside operators when using quantum cryptography, so the optimal solution is using the quantum bit error rate (QBER) to produce a more safe way for quantum communication among things in IoT techniques. QBER is done by using servers to correct error after sending a key for decryption method by another server to decrypt information using RC6 block cipher algorithm, during creating a secret key we need to calculate quantum correct probability and compare the result with threshold suggested and agreed by the servers.
