Cryptography from Quantum Mechanical Viewpoint

Cryptography from Quantum mechanical viewpoint

Cryptography is an art and science of secure communication. Here the sender and receiver are guaranteed the security through encryption of their data, with the help of a common key. Both the parties should agree on this key prior to communication. The cryptographic systems which perform these tasks are designed to keep the key secret while assuming that the algorithm used for encryption and dec...

Cryptography from Post-Quantum Assumptions

In this thesis we present our contribution in the field of post-quantum cryptography. We introduce a new notion of weakly Random-Self-Reducible public-key cryptosystem and show how it can be used to implement secure Oblivious Transfer. We also show that two recent (Post-quantum) cryptosystems can be considered as weakly RandomSelf-Reducible. We introduce a new problem called Isometric Lattice P...

Quantum Cryptography

Quantum cryptography

This is a chapter on quantum cryptography for the book “A Multidisciplinary Introduction to Information Security” to be published by CRC Press in 2011/2012. The chapter aims to introduce the topic to undergraduate-level and continuing-education students specializing in information and communication technology.

Quantum Cryptography

Quantum Cryptography was born in the early seventies when Stephen Wiesner wrote “Conjugate Coding”, which unfortunately took more than ten years to see the light of print [50]. In the mean time, Charles H. Bennett (who knew of Wiesner’s idea) and Gilles Brassard picked up the subject and brought it to fruition in a series of papers that culminated with the demonstration of an experimental proto...
