BB84 is a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol developed by Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard in 1984. It is one of the first and most well-known QKD protocols and is designed to allow two parties to securely share a secret cryptographic key over an insecure communication channel. The BB84 protocol relies on the principles of quantum mechanics, particularly the behavior of quantum bits (qubits).
