Quantum cryptography including quantum key distribution and quantum secret sharing, a fundamental branch in quantum information processing, is the process whereby two or more parties agree on a key for subsequent cryptographic use. The goal of quantum cryptography is to establish a secure key in an insecure communication environment, leading to the difficulty of the protocols' design and analysis. In this thesis we focus on the design and analysis of secure and efficient protocols of two or more parties in quantum settings.

Security requirements for real-life applications still increase. For this purpose, many people develop cryptographic protocols in order to fulfill these needs. When someone designs a new protocol, he usually uses cryptographic tools for which he is confident. The design and the analysis of these tools is the domain
