We intend to greatly reduce the QBER to a reasonable percentage that will make the key sharing communication more secured and effective. We use the dual quantum channels against the traditional single quantum channel. The dual channels give an upper hand to reduce the chances of error caused by eavesdropper. Simulations were conducted for varying the noise factor which is a measure of the presence of an eavesdropper. The results where compared between our proposed method and the one quantum channel model. Our method shows an almost half of the QBER reduced during the secret key sharing session. {\^A}{\copyright} 2015 IEEE.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84961707819&doi=10.1109\%2fICITCS.2015.7293032&partnerID=40&md5=c7c4f89e40d49788d3863e27f33a3395}, keywords = {Bit error rate; Communication channels (information theory); Computers; Network protocols; Optical communication; Photonics; Quantum communication; Quantum computers; Quantum entanglement; Receivers (containers), Dual channel; Noise factor; Primary keys; Quantum bit error rate; Quantum channel; Quantum Computing; Secret key sharing; Single quantum, Quantum cryptography}, isbn = {9781467365376}, author = {Abubakar, M.
