Quantum Cryptography and Secret-Key Distillation by Gilles van Assche (PDF)

Description

Quantum cryptography (or quantum key distribution) is a state-of-the-art technique that exploits properties of quantum mechanics to guarantee the secure exchange of secret keys. This 2006 text introduces the principles and techniques of quantum cryptography, setting it in the wider context of cryptography and security, with specific focus on secret-key distillation. The book starts with an overview chapter, progressing to classical cryptography, information theory (classical and quantum), and applications of quantum cryptography. The discussion moves to secret-key distillation, privacy amplification and reconciliation techniques, concluding with the security principles of quantum cryptography. The author explains the physical implementation and security of these systems, enabling engineers to gauge the suitability of quantum cryptography for securing transmission in their particular application. With its blend of fundamental theory, implementation techniques, and details of recent protocols, this book will be of interest to graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in electrical engineering, physics, and computer science.

⭐Perfetto

⭐The reason why I buy this book is that description says that it provides the implementation details of quantum cryptography. This book is indeed a good reference book for advanced developers but when it comes to actual implementation, it’s missing the example and quantum devices details. I understand that Quantum Computing is quite a new discipline and it would take another 4-5 years for the implementation but I strongly believe that book description should be changed to “a reference to implementation”It’s a great book if you’ve studied Quantum Physics and Mathematics in the past or present. For me, I have read the first chapter and planning to finish the book by EOD next month. One thing which is best about this book is that it gives you the formulas and name of an algorithm which could be used for the implementation.For those, who are concern about page quality (I don’t care much about it). It’s a book for you. Oxford press has taken a lot of care about paper quality and references.
