A symmetric encryption method based on properties of quasicrystals is proposed. The advantages of the cipher are strict aperiodicity and everywhere discontinuous property as well as the speed of computation, simplicity of implementation and…
We discuss aspects of secure quantum communication by proposing and analyzing a quantum analog of the Vernam cipher (one-time-pad). The quantum Vernam cipher uses entanglement as the key to encrypt quantum information sent through an…
A revised version will be uploaded later. In this Letter, it is shown that the one-time-pad key in the Vernam cipher can be repeatedly used with unconditional security using quantum media. The security proof is given with two explicit…
The Vernam cipher (or one-time pad) has played an important rule in cryptography because it is a perfect secrecy system. For example, if an English text (presented in binary system) $X_1 X_2 ... $ is enciphered according to the formula $Z_i…
Quasicrystals are nonperiodic structures having no translational symmetry but nonetheless possessing long-range order. The material properties of quasicrystals, particularly their low-temperature behavior, defy easy description. We present…

Quasicrystals are characterized by quasi-periodic arrangements of atoms. The description of their mechanics involves deformation and a (so called phason) vector field accounting at macroscopic scale of local phase changes, due to atomic…
A simple model of 1D structure based on a Fibonacci sequence with variable atomic spacings is proposed. The model allows for observation of the continuous transition between periodic and non-periodic diffraction patterns. The diffraction…
We present a systematic method of constructing limit-quasiperiodic structures with non-crystallographic point symmetries. Such structures are different aperiodic ordered structures from quasicrystals, and we call them "superquasicrystals".…
We propose modifications of known quasigroup based stream ciphers. Systems of orthogonal n-ary groupoids are used.
It is argued that the definition of quasicrystals should not include the requirement that they possess an axis of symmetry that is forbidden in periodic crystals. The term "quasicrystal" should simply be regarded as an abbreviation for…
In this chapter, first we will address principal aspects of 1D quasiperiodicity with a particular focus on 1D Fibonacci chains. Further, the rest of the chapter will be dedicated to the electromagnetic counterpart of 1D Fibonacci structures…
In this paper, we consider a quantum key distribution protocol (QKD) with two-way classical communication that is assisted by one-time pad encryption. We propose a two-way preprocessing that uses one-time pad encryption by previously shared…
Crystals are the materials which can be described by uniform periodic lattices. Traditionally, only the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-fold rotation symmetries are allowed in crystals because other n-fold rotation symmetries are forbidden by the…
Mathematicians have been interested in non-periodic tilings of space for decades; however, it was the unexpected discovery of non-periodically ordered structures in intermetallic alloys which brought this subject into the limelight. These…
