Published Feb 1, 2011• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

In this work we present an introductory discussion on the basic elements of quantum cryptography (QC) and we show results of simulation using some simulators in the literature whose aim is enables the user learn or practice QC under simulated conditions to prepare for actual performance. Our discussion is presented in the framework of first commercial attempts for quantum encryption.

An Overview of Quantum Cryptography

Harold F. Tipton, Micki Krause

Over the past few years, much attention has been paid to the domains of quantum computing and quantum cryptography. Both quantum computing and quantum cryptography have huge potential, and when they are ultimately deployed in totality will require massive changes in the state of information security. As of late 2005, quantum cryptography is still an early commercial opportunity; however, actual commercial quantum computing devices will not appear on the scene for another 15 to 25 years. This chapter provides a brief overview on the topic of quantum cryptography and the effects it will have on the information security industry.

An Overview of Quantum-Safe Approaches: Quantum Key Distribution and Post-Quantum Cryptography

Guobin Xu, Jianzhou Mao, Eric Sakk +1 more

Common cryptographic algorithms may no longer be considered secure under future quantum computers, which will cause a serious threat to network security. Hence, investigating quantum-safe cryptography and evaluating the safety of traditional cryptographic algorithms are essential and have become urgent demands. In this paper, we study the quantum-safe cryptography approaches and conduct a survey of the various quantum key distribution protocols, simulation tools, and commercial applications. In addition, we provide a comparison of the first four post-quantum cryptographic algorithms recently announced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The challenges of quantum-safe approaches will be discussed, which aim to find future research directions in quantum cryptography.

On Simulation of Quantum Cryptography

ZhaoShengmei, LIFei

The simulation of quantum cryptography on classical computers is discussed in this paper. The methods to express the preparation and measurement of quantum states on current computers are given and the basic algorithms for simulating the quantum key distribution protocols are presented. All the simulating results of each protocol are given and compared with the theoretic one. It is shown that the simulation results are completely tallied with the theoretic one.

A Survey on Quantum Cryptography

Jian Li, Na Li, Yu Zhang +4 more

Quantum cryptography (QC) as an important technology to protect the security of the future network communication, has gained extensive attention from both academia and industry in recent years. This paper provides a concise up-to-date review of QC, including Quantum key distribution (QKD), Quantum authentication, Quantum public-key cryptography (QPKC), and so on. Our aim is to pave a comprehensive and solid starting ground for interested readers. We firstly clarify the definition of QC. Secondly, we present the current understanding of QC from different levels, including the basic knowledge of quantum information processing, QC protocols and the attacks in QC. Finally, we discuss the challenges and opportunities in this hopeful field.

Practical Guide to Quantum Computing for Quantum Cryptography: Quantum-Safe Cryptography # 4

Mikhail Pavlov

Abstract This guide provides a practical introduction to quantum-safe cryptography using IBM Q, demonstrating how quantum computing impacts the security of current and future cryptographic systems. Quantum-safe cryptography addresses the threat posed by quantum algorithms that could break widely used classical encryption schemes, ensuring long-term data protection. Key topics covered include: Fundamentals of quantum-safe cryptography and its importance in the quantum era. Standardization efforts, including NIST competitions for post-quantum algorithms. Mathematical foundations of post-quantum cryptography, such as lattice-based cryptography and learning with errors (LWE). Python examples demonstrating encryption based on new mathematical problems. Overview of specific post-quantum algorithms, including the CRYSTALS suite. Hybrid cryptography approaches combining classical and quantum-resistant schemes. Through hands-on exercises on IBM Q, developers gain practical experience in implementing quantum-resilient encryption, exploring both theoretical foundations and real-world applications, and preparing for the transition to a quantum-secure computing environment.
