The quantum cryptograpy: Communication and computation

Nowadays there are two secure ways of encrypting information, the public key cryptography (PKC), and the symmetric cryptography (SC). With the arrival of the quantum computation, both methods become vulnerable, thanks to its exponential-growing calculation capacity. To solve this lack of security, quantum physics nowadays offers us two satisfactory methods which have been proposed successfully from a theoretical point of view: the two non-commuting observables, based on the Bennet and Brassard protocol, and the quantum entanglement combined with the Bell's inequality theorem, based on the Ekert protocol. Since some experiments have demonstrated the viability of the conduction of free space quantum cryptography at the surface of the Earth, we propose that this could be a boost for secure ground-to-satellite or satellite-to-satellite communications.
