Transmitting messages across noisy channels is an important practical problem. Coding theory provides explicit ways of ensuring that messages remain legible even in the presence of errors. Cryptography on the other hand, makes sure that messages remain unreadable - except to the intended recipient.
The recent application of the principles of quantum mechanics to cryptography has led to a remarkable new dimension in secret communication. As a result of these new developments, it is now possible to construct cryptographic communication systems which detect unau- unauthorized eavesdropping should
