Abstract
This report presents a method based on post quantum cryptography—the B92 Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol—that can be integrated to improve the security of Near Field Communication (NFC) systems. Inspired by the growing risks that quantum computing presents to conventional cryptography methods, this work investigates quantum-resistant ways to protect NFC technology, specifically from weaknesses that allow for eavesdropping. This research uses several in-depth simulations to evaluate the viability and effectiveness of using the B92 procedure in a realistic setting. To assess the protocol's robustness, the study methodology combines theoretical analysis with realistic simulations, generating various scenarios with varying degrees of noise and the possibility of eavesdropping. The B92 protocol significantly improves NFC security and exhibits robustness against attacks utilising quantum computing. The study's conclusions address the pressing need for quantum-resistant cryptographic techniques in the age of growing cyber threats, and they further the field of post quantum cryptography in useful communication technologies. In addition to expanding the body of knowledge in this area, the thesis creates new opportunities for future study and real-world implementations, which could completely alter NFC and other digital communication systems' security requirements in the era of quantum computing.
