Employing Quantum Mechanics for Quantum Cryptography

Quantum cryptography is a field of study that explores the use of quantum mechanics to create new cryptographic techniques that are more secure than traditional cryptography. With the advancement of quantum computing technology, the security of many commonly used encryption algorithms is at risk. Quantum cryptography offers a potential solution to this problem by providing a method for secure communication based on the principles of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we will provide an overview of the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics, their relevance to cryptography, and the most widely used quantum cryptography protocol, Quantum Key Distribution. The paper also examines the security and limitations of Quantum Key Distribution. The paper concludes with a summary of findings and implications for the future of cryptography and information security.
