| Talk Title: | Quantum cryptography: security in theory and in practice |
| Slides: | 6-5.ppt |
| Abstract: | Quantum cryptography is a technique for establishing secret key bits between two distant parties. Unlike conventional classical cryptography, quantum cryptography promises unconditional security based on the fundamental laws of Physics. In this talk, I will discuss the security of quantum cryptography in theory and in practice. |
