Abstract
Quantum key distribution can provide sophisticated solution for efficient authentication in wireless mesh networks. In quantum cryptography, the key is created during the process of key distribution, where as in classical key distribution a predetermined key is transmitted to the legitimate user. The most important contribution of quantum key distribution is the detection of eavesdropping.
