Quantum cryptography based on Bell’s theorem

Physical Review Letters · 1991 · Vol. 67(6) · pp. 661–663
Artur Ekert

Abstract

Practical application of the generalized Bell's theorem in the so-called key distribution process in cryptography is reported. The proposed scheme is based on the Bohm's version of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen gedanken experiment and Bell's theorem is used to test for eavesdropping.
