Abstract
This paper presents newly developed application for evaluation and testing of quantum cryptography protocols. At the beginning the reason of creation as well as basics of the quantum mechanics are provided. Successive sections of this article show the design and building blocks of application. Two use cases are proposed as well. At the end, reader is provided with short demonstration of simulator’s work in the means of exemplary results obtained through quantum protocol simulation execution.
