Abstract

This chapter introduces how to implement the quantum private communication using continuous variable signals. Key components for the private communication system including continuous variable signal sources, quantum modulation, quantum signal transmission and detection are described. Then, typical ways for protecting confidentiality and authentication with the coherent state and squeezed state are presented.
