Abstract

Recent developments in quantum cryptography have started affecting security and privacy of modern classical cryptography. Just in 1994, Peter Shor represented algorithm for factoring large prime numbers which forced cryptographers and security experts to give attention to quantum cryptography. Modern classical Public Key Infrastructures depends on difficulty of factoring large prime numbers using RSA. Shor’s algorithm challenges this and makes jeopardy of modern PKI. For example, when we try to break 2048 bit RSA key using classical computers it will take billion years to break. But same can be broken within few seconds with mature quantum computing architecture. Having said this, quantum computers have their own limitations. They are having small memories, limited processing power and works on comparatively smaller distances. In this paper we discusses quantum cryptography and limitation of classical and quantum cryptography in providing privacy.
