Cryptography is the way of making data or messages more secure and private. It is the oldest techniques to secure data. This technique is based on algorithms and mathematical calculation. The main problem of this technique is key distribution or storing key or key generation. Anyone can hack key on net if he/she know the algorithm used in key generation process easily. It may take a day to years. But if we distribute key using light and quantum mechanics it will be much more secure. It will take million of years to hack it because it is not based on mathematical computation that can be guess easily. So, our data becomes more secure and private which is much more precious now a day.

Security knowledge is one of the foremost challenges in the present day. When the topic is about Information security, the concept of cryptography comes into the picture. Every day, people and organizations use cryptography to maintain the confidentiality of their communications and data as well as to preserve their privacy. Today, one of the most successful methods used by businesses to protect their storage systems, whether at rest or in transit, is cryptography. Yet, cryptography is an effective technique to secure the data, the modern technology can break the cryptographic techniques. But some data encryption algorithms are several times stronger than today's conventional cryptography and can be constructed using quantum computing. They are "Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms ". Quantum cryptography uses the rules of quantum physics instead of classical encryption, which is based on mathematics, to protect and transmit data in a way that cannot be intercepted. Quantum key distribution is the greatest illustration of quantum cryptography and offers a safe solution to the key exchange issue. The proposed work deals with quantum cryptography and mainly focuses on how the quantum cryptographic algorithm is more secure than traditional cryptography.
Information is divided into two types: classical and quantum. Quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum teleportation are just a few of the miracles they can do when working together. Some of the uses range from assisting in the prevention of spies reading private messages to assisting in the prevention of spies reading private communications. Quantum purification and quantum error correction are examples of techniques that will make their implementation easier. Although some of these concepts are still beyond present technological capabilities, quantum cryptography has been established. The possibilities for small-scale quantum computer device prototypes by the end of the millennium are promising. This paper is focusing on addressing the depended approaches which deal with implementation cryptography based on quantumcomputing. Remembering that cryptography is a method of encryption that uses the naturally occurring propertiesof quantum mechanics to secure and transmit data in a way that cannot be hacked. Cryptography is the process ofencrypting and protecting data so that only the person who has the right secret key can decrypt it. For decades now, quantum computing has been hailed as one of the next big revolutions. Quantum computing is not just fasterthan traditional computing methods, but a fundamentally different approach to solve seemingly intractable problems. The mathematical operations that most traditional cryptographic algorithms rely on could be cracked with a sufficiently strong quantum computer. This paper aims to explain how quantum computing affects currentcryptography and expose readers to fundamental post-quantum methods. Quantum computing’s influence on IT professionals is becoming increasingly important. As a result, we provide a straightforward introduction to post-quantum cryptography, including quantum-resistant algorithms and quantum key distribution.
A common desire in today's world is that of security. Whether it is keeping your e-mail private or stopping the government from hacking into your computer, the idea behind cryptography is to communicate between two parties in different locations, and to secure this information from outsiders. During the last half century there have been numerous advances in encryption schemes and also in the machines that process such information. Modern encryption algorithms have become increasingly more complex with advances in computers and technology, and encryption algorithms such as RSA and DES have been presented as algorithms that have remained secure for decades. These recent advances in encryption schemes will be examined in the first part of this paper. On the other hand, because the security of classical ciphers relies on the secrecy of a key, advances in research and computing may begin to compromise the security of these cryptosystems, as quantum computers would be capable of mathematical calculations that could break many modern encryption algorithms. Unlike classical cryptosystems, quantum cryptography obeys the laws of quantum physics, resulting in a much stronger, provable security. Many great advances have come in recent decades, and the latter part of this paper deals with these advances as well as the phenomena of quantum physics, the evolution of quantum computing, and the study of quantum cryptography.
Cryptography is not for secure the sensitive data but now days it is compulsory in many applications like IoT, Cloud Platform, business systems and so on. A new area of advanced information technology called quantum-computing uses the unique characteristics of quantum physics to solve complex problems, which are beyond the powers of even the most robust classical/powerful computers. Security is the major concern in the area of quantum computing environment. Quantum cryptography, in addition, merely practices the ideologies of quantum mechanism to encrypt/decrypt data and transmit it in a way that cannot be hacked by anyone. This chapter explores the area of quantum public key cryptography, which seeks to create cryptographic building blocks that can withstand attacks from a quantum computing-enabled adversary. Chapter begins with fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, cryptography, quantum cryptography, quantum public key cryptography and, core families of quantum-resistant public key schemes.
Cryptography is the process of encrypting data or transforming plain text to ciphertext so that it can be deciphered only by appropriate key. Quantum cryptography employs quantum physics principles to encrypt and transport data in an unpackable manner. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a technique for creating and exchanging private keys over quantum channels between two parties. Then, using standard cryptography, the keys can be used to encrypt and decrypt messages. Unbreakable encryption is something we really must have. The integrity of encrypted data is now in danger due to the impending development of quantum computers. Fortunately, quantum cryptography, via QKD, provides the answer we require to protect our information for a very long time to come. This is all based on the intricate principles of quantum mechanics. This chapter is discussing the various algorithms used and the applications of quantum cryptography.
As security of data is of utmost importance nowadays, the field of cryptography gets extensive attention. The classical cryptography which uses laws of mathematics is losing its value as the data is not much secure as it can be easily accessed by eavesdropper; also the size of data is limited. According to Moore’s law, the transistor counts will double every two years; this statement won’t be substantial one day. Since the computer field is moving in the era of quantum, the need of the hour is to design a cryptography method which involves security at the quantum level. Quantum cryptography is fast, effective and very important technology for protecting the security in future communication. It uses laws of quantum physics, i.e., it uses properties of light and quantum mechanics for cryptographic operations. This paper provides a study on quantum cryptography and how it is better than the existing classical cryptography.
