Quantum cryptography - The analysis of security requirements

This article describes the security requirements of communication systems from quantum cryptography point of view. The background of consideration is the model of secure communication system, presented in ITU-T recommendation X.805. The requirements are described in two sections: end-users requirements, which should be clarified at the beginning of security architecture designing and system requirements, which should be met before quantum cryptography implementation.
