Abstract

Quantum cryptography utilizes the quantum properties of photons to construct an unbreakable crypto-algorithm in real-time. In this paper, based on quantum and classical computation principles, a new quantum encryption algorithm using the symmetric key is presented. It is a block-cipher algorithm which means that each message contains blocks in which 4 bits for each. Firstly, keyed rotations and permutation of the message bits are used. Secondly, the encrypted message is converted to qubits then several dynamic quantum gates are applied to them key dependently to make the ciphertext state reach the state of non-orthogonality. In consequence of the principles of quantum mechanics, the eaves cannot distinguish the non-orthogonal states of the encrypted message. The proposed algorithm is proofed to increase the message space, the various algorithm analysis proofed that our proposed algorithm has an improved strength against various attacks, including the brute force attack.
