Some Aspects of Quantum Cryptography and Network Security

Jaydip Sen, Chowdhury, Piyali Roy, Indranil Sengupta

Quantum mechanics is the current best description of the world as we know it. Experiments have shown that quantum predictions are accurate up ten places of decimal. In quantum cryptography much work has been devoted to the study of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). The purpose of QKD is to securely distribute secret keys between the users in a network. As a result, several quantum cryptographic protocols have been implemented and tested after the advent of quantum computing. In this paper, we have given a brief overview of QKD, and some practical networks that integrate QKD in the current Internet security architecture. We have also discussed some aspects of quantum network security with particular attention to Byzantine Agreement Protocol.

Security Aspect OF Quantum Key Distribution

Anand Sharma, Vibha Ojha, Vishal Kumar Goar

Is the newly born quantum cryptography the ultimate solution for information security?A technique needs to be both theoretically strong and practically viable.But quantum cryptography comes to naught in the latter.Unlike many of the classical cryptosystems in use today, whose security often draws on unproven assumptions about the computational complexity of mathematical problems, the security of quantum cryptography is based on-and employs-the laws of physics.The term -unconditional security‖is used to emphasize the fact that it does not rely on the presumed, yet unproven hardness of somemathematical problem.In this Paper, we present the proof of the unconditional security of the BB84 protocol, as devised by Peter Shor and John Preskill [1].

Deterministic Rendering of BB84 for Practical Quantum Cryptography

Marco Lucamarini, Jesni Shamsul Shaari, Mohamed Ridza Wahiddin

We describe how to modify the BB84 protocol for quantum cryptography in order to make it deterministic. We study both theoretical and experimental aspects of this issue, showing that the new scheme is as secure as the old one, more efficient on small-scale distances, and within the range of current technology.
