Week 9:

NAME:	Sathishka Akalanka
PROJECT TITLE:	Vulnerability analysis on quantum cryptography system and mitigation mechanisms.
WEEK NO:	09		DATE: 25/09/2020
PLANNING
MILESTONE:		PLANNED:		ACTUAL:	COMMENT:
Implement a verifiable framework proposed by lu in 2019		Complete the source code as pseudocode which is not executable; whereas that pseudocode is a combination of multiple programming languages. Therefore it is a complete algorithm written in proper programming languages but not executable.		It is possible to complete the algorithm by using python, C#, and Q#.	Successfully completed algorithm which is unexecutable.
ISSUES
DESCRIPTION:		DATE:	ACTION/RESULTS:		FINISHED (Y/N)
A verifiable framework is a combination of four algorithms. Therefore it is a challenge to develop each algorithm.		25/09/2020	completed		Y
