== Use Cases ==
* Can replace Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocols. For example in TLS, SSL, IPsec, etc.
* If secure key rate are sufficiently high, one can use QKD for information theoretically secure authenticated encryption scheme, e.g. One-time pad together with the authentication scheme presented in [[Quantum Key Distribution #References|[1] ]].

==Further Information==
The security definition presented here, are proven to be sufficient to guarantee universal composability for standard QKD in [[Quantum Key Distribution #References|[1] ]]. For device-independent quantum key distribution, attacks presented in [[Quantum Key Distribution #References|[2] ]] show that security can be compromised if the same devices are used to implement another instance of the protocol.
