Quantum Cryptographic Protocols for Secure Communication
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantum Cryptography offers a secure method of sharing sequences of random numbers to be used as cryptographic keys. It can potentially eliminate many of the weaknesses of classical cryptographic methods. In this paper, we survey some results in quantum cryptography. After a brief introduction to classical cryptography, some fundamental quantum key distribution protocols are reviewed. The issue of security both from theoretical as well as real life point of view is also addressed. Finally we point out some noteworthy recent advances and some important remaining challenges.

Quantum Cryptographic Key Distribution Protocols
The application of the principles of quantum mechanics to cryptography has led to a respectable new dimension in confidential communication. As a result of these developments, it is now possible to construct cryptographic communication systems which detect unauthorized eavesdropping should it occur, and which give a incontestable guarantee of no eavesdropping should it not occur. Here several p...
متن کاملQuantum Key Distribution Protocols: A Survey
Most cryptographic mechanisms, such as symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, often involve the use of cryptographic keys. However, all cryptographic techniques will be ineffective if the key distribution mechanism is weak. The security of most modern cryptographic systems of key distribution mechanism is based on computational complexity and the extraordinary time needed to break the code. Qua...

Quantum cryptography is an emerging technology in the field of cryptographic systems where quantum mechanics is used to guarantee secure communication between two parties. In simple terms, quantum cryptography uses the principles of quantum mechanics to provide communication between two parties where eavesdropping can be detected by both the sender and the receiver. The first commercial applica...
متن کاملEfficient Controlled Quantum Secure Direct Communication Protocols
We study controlled quantum secure direct communication (CQSDC), a cryptographic scheme where a sender can send a secret bit-string to an intended recipient, without any secure classical channel, who can obtain the complete bit-string only with the permission of a controller. We report an efficient protocol to realize CQSDC using Cluster state and then go on to construct a (2-3)-CQSDC using Bro...
