Quantum Key Distribution and String Oblivious Transfer in Noisy Channels
Dominic Mayers
We prove the unconditional security of a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol on a noisy channel against the most general attack allowed by quantum physics. We use the fact that…

Unconditionally secure quantum bit commitment is impossible
Dominic Mayers
The claim of quantum cryptography has always been that it can provide protocols that are unconditionally secure, that is, for which the security does not depend on any restriction…

The Trouble with Quantum Bit Commitment
Dominic Mayers
In a recent paper, Lo and Chau explain how to break a family of quantum bit commitment schemes, and they claim that their attack applies to the 1993 protocol of Brassard, Crépeau,…
