On Quantum Cryptography and Number Theory
Anton Sergeevich Trushechkin · AIP conference proceedings · 2006
Relations between number theory and cryptography are discussed. A general mathematical framework for quantum key distribution based on the concepts of quantum channel and Turing machine is suggested. The security for its special case is proved. The assumption is that the adversary can perform only individual (in essence, classical) attacks. For this case an advantage of quantum key distribution over classical one is shown.
