Funded Activity Summary
Foundations of quantum cryptography for distribution of secret keys. Quantum cryptographic systems have the advantage of mathematically provable security and privacy, addressing security threats to communications as information and communications technologies proliferate. This project aims to quantify a quantum channel's capability for secure communications. This quantity provides the ultimate limit to benchmark practical quantum key distribution protocols for their performance. This will significantly advance the theory of quantum cryptography and knowledge of the fundamental resource of secret keys. It is expected to have immediate application for the classical security of existing (non-quantum) communication devices, and benefit security, military, government, industry, individuals, and the community.Funded Activity Details
