Quantum Cryptography: A Survey

RSS-Feed

Abstract:
We survey some results in quantum cryptography. After a brief introduction to classical cryptography, we provide the quantum-mechanical background needed to present some fundamental protocols from quantum cryptography. In particular, we review quantum key distribution via the BB84 protocol and its security proof, as well as the related quantum bit commitment protocol and its proof of insecurity.

Abstract:
We survey some results in quantum cryptography. After a brief introduction to classical cryptography, we provide the physical and mathematical background needed and present some fundamental protocols from quantum cryptography, including quantum key distribution and quantum bit commitment protocols.
