Quantum cryptography is an effort to allow two users of a common
communication channel to create a body of shared and secret
information. This information, which generally takes the form of
a random string of bits, can then be used as a conventional
secret key for secure communication. It is useful to assume that
the communicating parties initially share a small amount of
secret information, which is used up and then renewed in the
exchange process, but even without this assumption exchanges are
possible. The recent applications of the principles of quantum
mechanics to cryptography have led to remarkable new dimension
in secret communication.
