Only a few years ago quantum cryptography ? or better: quantum key distribution ? was the domain of basic research laboratories at universities. But during the last few years things changed. QKD left the laboratories and was picked up by more practical oriented teams that worked hard to develop a practically applicable technology out of the astonishing results of basic research. One major milestone towards a QKD technology was a large research and development project funded by the European Commission that aimed at combining quantum physics with complementary technologies that are necessary to create a technical solution: electronics, software, and network components were added within the project SECOQC (Development of a Global Network for Secure Communication based on Quantum Cryptography) that teamed up all expertise on European level to get a technology for future encryption. The practical application of QKD in a standard optical fibre network was demonstrated October 2008 in Vienna, giving a glimpse of the future of secure communication. Although many steps have still to be done in order to achieve a real mature technology, the corner stone for future secure communication is already laid. QKD will not be the Holy Grail of security, it will not be able to solve all problems for evermore. But QKD has the potential to replace one of the weakest parts of symmetric encryption: the exchange of the key. It can be proven that the key exchange process cannot be corrupted and that keys that are generated and exchanged quantum cryptographically will be secure for ever (as long as some additional conditions are kept). This book will show the state of the art of Quantum Cryptography and it will sketch how it can be implemented in standard communication infrastructure. The growing vulnerability of sensitive data requires new concepts and QKD will be a possible solution to overcome some of today?s limitations. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v797 606 $aData encryption (Computer science) 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aQuantum computers 606 $aSpintronics 606 $aApplied mathematics 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aCryptology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I28020 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070 606 $aMathematical and Computational Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11006 615 0$aData encryption (Computer science). 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aQuantum computers. 615 0$aSpintronics. 615 0$aApplied mathematics. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 14$aCryptology. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics. 615 24$aMathematical and Computational Engineering. 676 $a005.8/2 702 $aKollmitzer$b Christian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPivk$b Mario$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466835503316 996 $aApplied Quantum Cryptography$9855595 997 $aUNISA
