In Session 10, we showed that the telegrapher's equations can be extended using the Riccati differential equation and that a new circuit element can be obtained. In Session 11, we showed that the Dirac equation, which is used in quantum theory, can be expressed as the extended telegrapher's equations and that circuit theory can be applied to the Dirac equation. In this session, we demonstrate that a new circuit element can be obtained by applying reactive power to the Dirac equation. In this case, energy given by Einstein's well-known formula E = mc2 should be considered for the discussion on an ordinary world that does not require the theory of relativity.

Web applications are widely used today. A web application may be vulnerable to session hijacking and cookie theft. In this project, we aim to secure web applications against session hijacking and cookie theft. The proposed system uses quantum cryptography and reverse proxy authentication. Upon successful login to the server, the server generates a session key for the session. The session key is transmitted to the client using Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol so that the session key is kept secret from any third party. The AES or Advanced Encryption Standard, is used to encrypt session cookies. This is done with the help of a session key. Reverse proxy servers authenticate the cookies. They verify whether the cookies are modified or not. If the cookies are not modified, the reverse proxy servers send the cookies to the server. If the cookies are modified, the modified cookies cannot be used for accessing the web application. We can also give the auto login facility to the client by using the encrypted session cookies. The client will not have to re-enter the username and password for accessing the web application. Hence, the proposed system is effective in securing web sessions by using quantum cryptography and reverse proxy authentication.
