2. Backg ound and Mo i a ion
Wi h he ad en o quan um compu e s, classical enc yp ion me hods such as RSA and ECC
will become ulne able. QKD, pionee ed by Benne & B assa d (1984) and Eke (1991),

Despi e decades o p og ess, QKD emains la gely inaccessible in class oom and mid-scale

3. O e iew o VisualQKD P o
VisualQKD P o ( 1.0) is an in e ac i e so wa e labo a o y o he BB84 Quan um Key
Dis ibu ion (QKD) p o ocol, designed o make he p ocess o quan um key exchange isual,
measu able, and ep oducible.
While he cu en elease ocuses on he s anda d BB84 p o ocol, he pla o m is

Key Fea u es:
- P o ocol: BB84 (Rec ilinea & Diagonal bases)
- Visualiza ions: Pho on pola iza ion s a es, basis ma ch/misma ch, si ed key ag eemen
