  Quantum Key Distribution : A Key to Security

  N. Pelloquin

 
Quantum key distribution (QKD), uses quantum mechanics to guarantee secure communication. It enables two parties to produce a shared random bit string known only to them, which can be used as a key to encrypt and decrypt messages. QKD or QKDs?
