Quantum Cryptography or Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a technique that allows the secure distribution of a bit string, used as key in cryptographic protocols. When it was note...
Security of quantum key distribution against sophisticated attacks is among the most important issues in quantum information theory. In this work we prove security against a very ...

Abstract. Assuming an insecure quantum channel and an authenticated classical channel, we propose an unconditionally secure scheme for encrypting classical messages under a shared ...
We have begun to expand the NIST quantum key distribution (QKD) system into a quantum network to support secure cryptography. We are starting with a simple three-node network, one...

The combination of two security protocols, a simple shared-key communication protocol and the Di e-Hellman key distribution protocol, is modeled formally and proved correct. The m...
