Quantum Cryptography over Multi-Sites Networks

While most of the researches on channel security have focused on point to point communication, little attention was given to multi nodes networks. In this study, the possibilities of loopholes in multi-sites networks using quantum secure direct communication encryption protocols are analyzed. Several solutions are proposed. Depending on the installed topology (linear, ring, star and partially meshed) and on the distance between the nodes, a different solution is proposed
