Quantum cryptography, also called quantum encryption, applies principles of quantum mechanics to encrypt messages in a way that it is never read by anyone outside of the intended recipient. 2, record 1, English, - quantum%20cryptography

quantum key distribution; quantum cryptography: For some authors, quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution are synonymous. For others, however, quantum cryptography also includes other applications of quantum mechanics related to cryptography, such as quantum secret sharing. 4, record 1, English, - quantum%20cryptography

Ensemble de méthodes de cryptographie qui utilisent des protocoles dont la sécurité repose sur les principes de base de la physique quantique, tels que le caractère aléatoire de la mesure quantique, la superposition, l'intrication et le non-clonage quantiques. 4, record 1, French, - cryptographie%20quantique

[...] la cryptographie quantique n'est pas de la cryptographie, car elle n'est pas une méthode de cryptage d'un message utilisant la mécanique quantique [...] Il s'agit en effet d'un ensemble de protocoles permettant de distribuer une clé de chiffrement entre deux interlocuteurs distants, tout en assurant la sécurité de la transmission grâce aux lois de la physique quantique et de la théorie de l'information. 5, record 1, French, - cryptographie%20quantique

En esencia, la criptografía cuántica se basa en el uso de partículas/ondas luminosas (fotones) individuales y sus propiedades cuánticas intrínsecas para desarrollar un criptosistema inquebrantable (porque es imposible medir el estado cuántico de cualquier sistema sin perturbarlo). 3, record 1, Spanish, - criptograf%C3%ADa%20cu%C3%A1ntica

La distribución cuántica de claves (DCC o QKD por sus siglas en inglés) permite crear claves de manera segura entre dos partes que comparten un canal cuántico (usando una fibra óptica, por ejemplo), ya que la mecánica cuántica proporciona modos de realizar cómputos o transferir información de manera completamente distinta a los sistemas de seguridad clásicos. 2, record 1, Spanish, - criptograf%C3%ADa%20cu%C3%A1ntica
