Device-independent quantum cryptography
open-in-new
<p>A <a href="/facts/Quantum_cryptography/FPqPdNXT">quantum cryptographic</a> protocol is device-independent if its security does not rely on trusting that the quantum devices used are truthful. Thus the security analysis of such a protocol needs to consider scenarios of imperfect or even malicious devices. Several important problems have been shown to admit unconditional secure and device-independent protocols. A closely related topic (that is not discussed in this article) is measurement-device independent <a href="/facts/Quantum_key_distribution/aJ4aQ6yw">quantum key distribution</a>. </p>
