The establishment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a strategic priority in many countries has triggered the development of electronic communication for banking, school, health, commerce, and government. At the same time, encryption algorithms were created to protect the privacy of sensitive information such as credit card information in transit. Yet, current cryptosystems rely on unproven assumptions about computational complexity, or use cumbersome private couriers for highest level information protection. Quantum cryptography offers the ultimate solution to these problems: security guaranteed by the laws of nature, which does not require private couriers and can not be compromised by new technologies.

许多国家将信息和通信技术 (ICT) 作为战略重点，引发了银行、学校、卫生、商业和政府电子通信的发展。同时，还创建了加密算法来保护敏感信息（例如信用卡信息）在传输过程中的隐私。然而，当前的密码系统依赖于未经证实的关于计算复杂性的假设，或者使用繁琐的私人信使来实现最高级别的信息保护。量子密码学为这些问题提供了最终的解决方案：自然法则保证的安全，不需要私人快递，也不会被新技术所损害。
