"Quantum Cryptography" is a comprehensive textbook designed to provide students, educators, and professionals with a thorough and practical understanding of the principles and applications of securing information in the quantum era. It systematically covers the essential concepts, from the fundamentals of quantum mechanics to the deployment of advanced quantum-safe security protocols.


Philosophy

The core philosophy of this book is "demystification through practical application." Quantum cryptography is often perceived as an esoteric and inaccessible subject. We challenge this perception by grounding every theoretical concept in tangible examples, practical implementation details, and real-world applications. The book is built on the belief that a deep understanding of this field is best achieved not just by knowing the "what" and "why," but by mastering the "how."


Key Features

1. Syllabus Compliant: Meticulously designed to align with the AICTE model curriculum for B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering in India, as well as the syllabi of major international universities.
2. Holistic Coverage: Provides a balanced treatment of both Quantum Cryptography (like QKD) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), offering a complete picture of the quantum-safe landscape.
3. Beginner to Advanced: The content is structured to be accessible to beginners with no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics, while also providing the depth required for advanced learners and postgraduate students.
4. Capstone Project: The final chapter features a complete Do-It-Yourself (DIY) capstone project on building a QKD simulator, including fully explained code, enabling students to synthesize and apply their knowledge.
