abstract: The SECOQC White Paper on Quantum Key Distribution and Cryptography is the
outcome on a thorough consultation and discussion among the participants of the
European project SECOQC (www.secoqc.net). This paper is a review article that
attempts to position Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) in terms of cryptographic
applications. A detailed comparison of QKD with the solutions currently in use
to solve the key distribution problem, based on classical cryptography, is
provided. We also detail how the work on QKD networks lead within SECOQC will
allow the deployment of long-distance secure communication infrastructures
based on quantum cryptography. The purpose of the White Paper is finally to
promote closer collaboration between classical and quantum cryptographers. We
believe that very fruitful research, involving both communities, could emerge
in the future years and try to sketch what may be the next challenges in this
direction.
