This paper deals with the theoretical modeling of anisotropic compact stars in the framework of f(T) theory of gravity, where T is torsion scalar. To this end, we have used the exact solutions of Krori and Barua metric to a static spherically symmetric metric. The unknown constants involved in the Krori and Barua metric have been specified by using the masses and radii of compact stars 4U1820-30, Her X-1, SAX J 1808-3658. The physical properties of these stars have been analyzed in the framework of f(T) theory. In this setting, we have checked the anisotropic behavior, regularity conditions, stability and surface redshift of the compact stars.
