Abstract

Many cryptographic techniques were available to achieve a secure communication. Because of the open nature of wireless transmission, the communication is not regarded secure. Moreover, with the arrival of quantum computing technology, it overcomes the issues faced during the communication. Quantum cryptography uses the principle of quantum physics for secured information processing. Such processed information is transmitted from one end to the other end. It is regarded as a necessary one, if the communication channel cannot be trusted. Furthermore, a flying ad hoc network (FANET) is an ad hoc network, which rectifies the problem associated with communication among the ground station and unmanned ariel vehicles. It is supportive of real-time data transfer; also, it holds security features of an ad hoc network.
