Mitigating Man-In-The-Middle Attack Using Quantum Key Distribution

While the use of Quantum Key Distribution is very secure, some faults can occur, specifically, that can create a manin-the-middle attack. This paper examines how the man-in-the-middle attack can occur and why Quantum Key Distribution is still the superior encryption choice. Applying Post-Quantum Cryptography (FALCON Algorithm) to the Quantum Key Distribution should create more secure encryption to mitigate a man-in-the-middle attack, thusly protecting the communication from the eavesdropper.
