Review of the hardback: 'This is a self-contained book, which is accessible to newcomers to the field with a basic background in physical and computer sciences, as well as electrical engineering. Being up-to-date, this book will, at the same time, prove useful to the scientists already involved in quantum cryptography research.' Zentralblatt MATH
