The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

Beyond the constraints of classical encryption, the field of quantum cryptography (QC) provides a revolutionary method of secure communication. Despite traditional cryptography methods, QC protocols offer verifiable security assurances by utilizing the concepts of quantum mechanics (Goyal, 2024). Quantum teleportation (QT), quantum secret sharing (QSS), quantum secure direct communication (QSDC), and quantum key distribution (QKD) represent the four fundamental branches of quantum cryptography protocols. Unlike QKD, which is primarily concerned with the secure negotiation of cryptographic keys, QSDC introduces a novel communication paradigm that provides a comprehensive, confidential, and near-instantaneous solution by transmitting actual messages directly over a quantum channel.

Keywords: Quantum cryptography (QC), quantum machine learning (QML), quantum key distribution (QKD), Quantum convoluted neural networks (QCNN), quantum support vector machine (QSVM), Eavesdropping detection, Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC)
