Quantum Cryptography
Quantum Cryptography is the future of cryptography. Quantum Cryptography is still being developed and as with every new technology, the Internet is booming with information about Quantum Cryptography. In this paper, you are going to synthesize what you think Quantum cryptography is and explain its applicability is next generation cryptographic algorithms and information privacy.
Quantum Cryptography
Quantum cryptography encompasses applying quantum mechanics’ principles for encryption of messages in a manner not known by another party except the intended recipient (Zhou et al., 2018). The concept takes advantage of quantum’s multiple states and the “no change theory,” which involves no unexpected interruptions that can happen. This process results in a cryptographic system that has distributed secret random cryptographic keys between the involved parties to share information between the two and keep it secure from eavesdroppers who may have unlimited computing power (Tan, 2013). The secret key has been established; the involved parties can use it with classical cryptographic techniques such as the One-time-pad that allows the parties to communicate important information with absolute secrecy.
In the next general, quantum cryptography algorithms will be used to provide even further security to computer systems, and it will be incorporated even in cloud computing. Cloud computing services require multi-level cryptography encryption and description to increase security in cloud computing storage. The future of quantum cryptography is expected to bring forth respective quantum computation devices, which offer numerous advantages to many useful applications for the users compared to the best classical computers existing at this time. At that time, there will be tasks that will involve quantum computers, communication, and the processing of quantum information where involved parties will want the privacy of their information maintained and security guaranteed for the tasks carried out (Walden & Kashefi, 2019). This future could not be too far, considering the quantum devices being created currently are already surpassing limits to quantum computations, which can be simulated by classical supercomputers. Therefore, quantum cryptography is on a path of improving user experiences with technological devices regarding security and information privacy.
