Relativistic quantum cryptography

SCOT is performed by two mistrustful parties, Alice and Bob. Alice inputs secret messages and Bob obtains a message of his choice in a first spacetime region, i.e, at a particular location and at a particular time. The security conditions are : Alice must be oblivious to Bob’s chosen message, and Bob must be oblivious to the other messages of Alice at spacetime regions that are spacelike separated from the first spacetime region. This technology provides methods and systems to implement unconditionally secure SCOT based on quantum physics and the principle of no-superluminal signalling of special relativity, evading Lo’s no-go theorem for one-out-of-m OT.
