• This paper represents the overview of Quantum Cryptography. Cryptography is the art of secrecy and it is the use of quantum mechanical properties to perform cryptographic tasks. It is a way of securing the channel using quantum mechanics properties. There are so many examples of quantum cryptography but the most important example is Quantum Key Distribution, which provides a solution to the breaking of various popular public key encryption and signature schemes (e.g. RSA and ElGamal). This helps to solve the security problems and also makes the communication channel is more secure. There are so many advantages of quantum cryptography, one thing is that the quantum computer gives the quadratic speed up on the general problems and second thing is that the quantum cryptography lies in the fact it allows the completion of various cryptographic tasks. That is proven to be impossible using classical communication.
