Quantum cryptography is the art and science of exploiting quantum mechanical effects in order to perform cryptographic tasks. While the most well-known example of this discipline is quantum key distribution (QKD), there exist many other applications such as quantum money, randomness generation, secure two- and multi-party computation and delegated quantum computation. Quantum cryptography also studies the limitations and challenges resulting from quantum adversaries-including the impossibility of quantum bit commitment, the difficulty of quantum rewinding and the definition of quantum security models for classical primitives. In this review article, aimed primarily at cryptographers unfamiliar with the quantum world, we survey the area of theoretical quantum cryptography, with an emphasis on the constructions and limitations beyond the realm of QKD.
量子密码学是利用量子力学效应来执行加密任务的艺术与科学。虽然该学科最广为人知的例子是量子密钥分发(QKD),但还存在许多其他应用,如量子货币、随机性生成、安全的两方和多方计算以及委托量子计算。量子密码学还研究量子敌手带来的限制和挑战,包括量子比特承诺的不可能性、量子回绕的困难以及经典原语的量子安全模型的定义。在这篇主要面向不熟悉量子世界的密码学家的综述文章中,我们概述了理论量子密码学领域,重点关注QKD领域之外的构造和限制。
