Abstract

The advancement of contemporary technology is driving increased technological capabilities, while applications related to the Internet of Things (IoT) continue to grow. The integration of IoT into daily routines enhances convenience and comfort. Furthermore, technology can contribute to a moderate decrease in the dependency on human labor. Nonetheless, as data transmission occurs over the Internet, ensuring robust security measures is paramount. Traditional cryptographic methods were employed to guarantee the security of data transmission. In contemporary times, cryptography relies heavily on mathematical principles; thus, if a key can be discerned through the use of advanced computing power, it may pose a security vulnerability. In contrast, quantum cryptography is founded on the principles of physics, rendering the key difficult to disclose. Moreover, any attempts to uncover it can be detected. Consequently, this paper integrates both conventional and quantum cryptography. In traditional cryptography, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is employed, whereas in quantum cryptography, the B92 Quantum Key Distribution Protocol is utilized.
