About

Quantum cryptography refers to the cryptographic systems that make active use of quantum technlogies, e.g., by using quantum communication channels. Depending on the protocol, this may be possible with today’s technology, or only with futuristic quantum computers. In this seminar, we will look at various quantum protocols, with a focus not only on how they work, but also why they are secure (security proofs).
