Quantum key distribution is the most secure and reliable way of generating key for public cryptography. Everyday engineers develop new protocols to ensure data protection. On the contrary, hackers also developed new ways to get into the systems. Quantum key distribution help users to send and receive data with infallible security. In this article, we present an introduction to BB84 & MKP16 protocols and list some of their shortcomings. Further, we try to find answers to these shortcomings with our High Yield Novel QKD (HYQKD) protocol. We wrote a QISKIT program to simulate HYQKD, BB84 & MKP16 protocols. We compared the novel QKD protocol with the existing BB84 & MKP16 protocols and compiled the results in terms of error rate and key length. With our comparison we concluded that BB84 protocol has the least Key rate and highest error rate, MKP16 has twice the key rate and half the error in comparison to BB84 and for novel QKD it depends upon the number of available channels and the number of Eve(s) attacking.
