Abstract: Quantum computers impose an immense threat to system security.
As a countermeasure, new cryptographic classes have been created to
prevent these attacks. Technologies such as post-quantum cryptography and quantum cryptography. Quantum cryptography uses the
principle of quantum physics to produce theoretically unbreakable security. This tertiary review selected 51 secondary studies from the
Scopus database and presented bibliometric analysis, a list of the main
techniques used in the field, and existing open challenges and future
directions in quantum cryptography research. The results showed a
prevalence of QKD over other techniques among the selected papers
and stated that the field still faces many problems related to implementation cost, error correction, decoherence, key rates, communication distance, and quantum hacking.
