Abstract
The following chapter deals with a possible application of methods of quantum cryptography to permit secure communication between parties in different architectures by establishing a Ring of Trust. The aim is to solve the problems of key distribution with methods of quantum cryptography without being limited by their transmission range. At the same time, a high level of security is obtained, which is ensured by the use of corresponding cryptographic algorithms. The model is not restricted to certain cryptographic algorithms. Therefore, it is possible to enlarge a preexisting system with new cryptographic algorithms or to replace formerly employed cryptographic algorithms with new ones.
