Quantum Cryptography: A General Introduction and Shor's Algorithm

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to take a look at how quantum
cryptography works and how it compares to traditional
encryption methods. We provide a quick overview of
quantum computing and highlight its promise using a
simplified description of Shor's Algorithm. Prominent
databases such as IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and JSTOR
were used to gather relevant material, which included books,
journals, conferences, lecture notes, and websites, all
pertaining to quantum cryptography. The workings of
quantum cryptography and Shor's algorithm were therefore
better understood. Using examples to illustrate the
complexities of Shor's method, the authors provided a
concise description of quantum cryptography and showed
how encryption is accomplished by using the features of
quantum particles. By staying up-to-date on the latest
findings in quantum cryptography, interested academics
might encourage future cryptography scholars to go further
into quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and other
quantum theory concepts
