Abstract
Quantum cryptography has emerged as a significant field of study over the last fifteen years, because it offers the promise of private communication whose security is assured by the laws of quantum mechanics. Most implementations of quantum cryptography so far have used a protocol introduced by Bennet and Brassard, generally known as BB84 [1]. The message can be encoded on the polarization state of single photons, with a random choice between two non-orthogonal polarization bases when the photons are sent and received. Since an eavesdropper does not know what bases have been chosen, any measurement she makes will impose a detectable back-action on the states of the transmitted photons. Using error correction and privacy amplification, the communicating parties can distill the transmitted message into a secure key, about which the eavesdropper knows arbitrarily little.
