Quantum Cryptography by Jeff Hinson CS 691 , Summer 2009

The early days of experimental quantum cryptography

This paper describes the first quantum cryptography experiment, performed at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in the summer of 1989 by Charles H. Bennett and the author. The apparatus and some of the lesser-known details of the experiment are illustrated and discussed, and quantum cryptography is discussed in the light of some of the more recent research. Also included as an appendix is...

Solving Heuristic Attacks Using Elliptic Curve Cryptography in Quantum Computer

Quantum Secret Sharing (QSS) is one of the important branch in Quantum Cryptography which combines Quantum with classical mechanics. The main objective of this paper is to propose elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for solving heuristic attacks. The QSS and ECC methods has been tested in the following three quantum algorithms like Genetic Algorithm (GA), Tabu search algorithm (TS), Cuckoo search...

Quantum Cryptography in Noisy Channels

We provide a complete proof of the security of quantum cryptography against any eavesdropping attack including coherent measurements even in the presence of noise. Polarization-based cryptographic schemes are shown to be equivalent to EPR-based schemes. We also show that the performance of a noisy channel approaches that of a noiseless one as the error rate tends to zero. (i.e., the secrecy cap...

Tap, tap, tap to better patient documentation.

Dr. Greg Hinson is in the minority. He's among the meager 13 percent of physicians in solo practice who use electronic medical records, according to a recent Commonwealth Fund survey. But Hinson is comfortable being apart from the madding crowd. He knew electronic record keeping would be the ticket to efficiencies in his practice so he traded in his hodgepodge of inadequate record-keeping techn...
