Excerpt

The problem of private communication in the presence of an eavesdropper has been studied for centuries. While various techniques have been explored, a complete solution has been proven possible only 30 years ago. This solution has two basic components: the one-time pad and quantum key distribution (QKD). The one-time pad is an encoding method that can achieve unconditionally secret communications if the sender and receiver share a secret key, a random sequence of symbols with which a message can be encoded. A secret key can be generated (even in the presence of an eavesdropper) using QKD. Together, the one-time pad and QKD provide a completely secret end-to-end cryptosystem: key distribution via QKD followed by encryption of the desired message using the key material as a one-time pad. …
