Some Aspects of Quantum Cryptography and Network Security
Quantum mechanics is the current best description of the world as we know it. Experiments have shown that quantum predictions are accurate up ten places of decimal. In quantum cryptography much work has been devoted to the study of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). The purpose of QKD is to securely distribute secret keys between the users in a network. As a result, several quantum cryptographic p...
متن کاملLattice-Based Cryptography
In this chapter we describe some of the recent progress in lattice-based cryptography. Lattice-based cryptographic constructions hold a great promise for post-quantum cryptography, as they enjoy very strong security proofs based on worst-case hardness, relatively efficient implementations, as well as great simplicity. In addition, lattice-based cryptography is believed to be secure against quan...

Practical Issues in Quantum Cryptography Feihu Xu Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2012 Cryptography plays a key role in our life ranging from computer passwords to electronic commerce to national military security. The most widely used modern encryption algorithm is the public-key algorithm. However, the security of all pu...
متن کاملSecurity of Quantum Cryptography with Realistic Sources
The interest in practical implementations of quantum key distribution (QKD) is steadily growing. However, there is still a need to give a precise security statement which adapts to realistic implementation. In this paper I give the effective key rate we can obtain in a practical setting within the scenario of security against individual attacks by an eavesdropper. It illustrates previous result...
متن کاملResearch Activities in Quantum Cryptography and Security Analysis
1. Introduction Quantum cryptography is a technology that ensures ultimate security 1). Compared to current cryptography that could be defeated by the development of an ultra high-speed computer, quantum cryptography ensures secure communication because it is based on the fundamental physical laws. Among the various quantum information technologies, the most extensive research is being conducte...
