Researchers have come up with a way of protecting telecoms networks using quantum cryptography without the need for expensive dedicated optical fibre links.
In recent years, quantum cryptography (QC) has attracted considerable interest.
That possibility does disturb IBM physicist Charles Bennett, a pioneer of quantum cryptography protocols.
This paper explains how cryptography will be benefited from quantum mechanics, through a short introduction to classical cryptography, and the general principles of quantum cryptography and the BB84 protocol for key distribution.
