摘要

Secure communications is a vital need of the world, and the basic features of quantum mechanics seemingly offer fundamental new tools for achieving this security. But do these tools really work? This review gives due attention to the real-world problems with experimental quantum cryptography, but the heart of the review is an in-depth survey of the analyses developed to prove the security of the basic quantum techniques introduced by Wiesner, Ekert, Bennett, and Brassard. A broader set of cryptographic tasks have quantum aspects which are also discussed here.
