List of quantum cryptography protocols
Encyclopedia
Quantum key distribution protocols are used in quantum key distribution. The first protocol of that kind was BB84
, introduced in 1984. After that, many other protocols have been defined.
BB84
BB84 is a quantum key distribution scheme developed by Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard in 1984. It is the first quantum cryptography protocol. The protocol is provably secure, relying on the quantum property that information gain is only possible at the expense of disturbing the signal if the...

- SARG04SARG04SARG04 is a quantum cryptography protocol derived from the first protocol of that kind, BB84.-Origin:Researchers built SARG04 when they noticed that by using the four states of BB84 with a different information encoding they could develop a new protocol which would be more robust when attenuated...
