Practical Guide to Quantum Computing for Quantum-Safe Cryptography: Asymmetric-Key Cryptography # 3

Mikhail Pavlov

Abstract This guide explores asymmetric-key cryptography (AKC) as part of quantum-safe cryptographic practices using IBM Q. Asymmetric cryptography underpins many secure network communications today, providing mechanisms for key exchange, digital signatures, and authentication. Unlike symmetric-key cryptography, AKC uses a public-private key pair, enabling secure communications without sharing a secret key. The lesson covers: Fundamentals of asymmetric-key cryptography. Practical applications, including RSA, DSA, and elliptic curve algorithms. Python examples demonstrating key generation, encryption/decryption, and digital signatures. Evaluation of security considerations against classical and quantum computing attacks. Discussion of potential vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies in the quantum era. By integrating theory with hands-on experimentation on IBM Q, developers gain practical skills to implement asymmetric-key cryptography while understanding the impact of emerging quantum threats and preparing quantum-resilient secure systems.

Asymmetric Position-Based Quantum Cryptography

Nadeem, Muhammad

A large number of quantum location verification protocols have been proposed. All existing protocols in this field are based on symmetric cryptography where verifiers and the prover use the same secret key. The prover obtains secret key from different verifiers, in pieces through public channels, which may result in security compromise. In this paper, we give a formulism to prove information-theoretic position-based quantum cryptography is possible in asymmetric quantum setting. We propose a quantum location verification protocol based on asymmetric quantum cryptographic where two different keys will be used.

Quantum Key Distribution: A Safer Alternate To Asymmetric Key Exchange Policies

Sreeparna Chakrabarti

The encryption process of Symmetric Key Cryptography is quicker as compared to Asymmetric Key Cryptography, but the key exchange process is a challenge.This paper focuses on Quantum Cryptography techniques for that purpose as traditional digital cryptography techniques are not safe.In "Quantum Key Exchange" Technique, "Heisenberg uncertainty principle" and "quantum no cloning theory" are used to resist attacks.The Quantum Key Exchange is demonstrated through BB84 algorithm and the result is analyzed.Discussion is made on the practical applications of the technique
