Quantum Data Integrity Verification Methods
Methods for verifying data integrity with quantum techniques, how they compare with classical checks and where they could be used.
Quantum Anonymous Transfer and Untraceable Messages
Quantum anonymous transmission hides who sent a message and to whom using shared entanglement. How the protocols work and their limits.
Multi-Party Computation With Quantum Resources
Quantum multi-party computation lets several parties compute jointly on private data using quantum resources. Protocols, security and scaling.
Quantum Coin Tossing Protocols and Their Bias
Quantum coin tossing protocols and their bias bounds: why perfect strong coin flipping is impossible and what weak protocols achieve.
Public-Key Algorithms in a Quantum World
Public-key cryptography after quantum computers: why Shor’s algorithm breaks RSA and ECC, and the lattice, code, multivariate and hash schemes.
Quantum Secret Splitting Across Several Holders
Quantum secret splitting divides a secret among several holders using quantum states so no single holder can read it. How it works in practice.
Quantum Encryption Algorithms and Their Security
Quantum encryption algorithms and their security: QKD protocols such as BB84, entanglement-based methods, challenges and post-quantum options.
Symmetric Key Distribution With Quantum Channels
How symmetric keys can be distributed over quantum channels with QKD, the protocols involved, and how this compares with classical methods.
Quantum Position Verification: Proving Where You Are
Quantum position verification tries to prove a party’s location using quantum signals. Why no-go results limit it and what still works.
Quantum Identification Protocols, Explained
Quantum identification protocols verify identity using quantum states and keys. Entanglement-based schemes, QKD systems and security.
