Quantum Key Distribution is a quantum cryptographic protocol that can provide perfectly secure communication.

 

My Master's thesis examined the security of performing quantum key distribution (QKD) with a simplified trusted relay (STR). The protocol carries out the quantum phase of a conventional trusted relay, however, reduces the required complexity of the nodes by carrying out an altered classical phase.
