<p>It is hard to understand what you mean here. Shor's algorithm is a quantum algorithm <a href="http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=208" rel="nofollow noreferrer">designed to factor integers</a>. With some twicking of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Fourier_transform" rel="nofollow noreferrer">main idea</a> you can make it <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0301141" rel="nofollow noreferrer">break other crypto-sytems</a>; however, how are you planing to build a crypto-system ? On the other hand, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_cryptography" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Quantum-crypto</a> sits on much more solid grounds then quantum computation (i.e. we may actually see quantum crypto-systems in our lifetime).</p>
Can Shor's algorithm be used for key encryption?
<p>Can <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Shor's algorithm</a> be used for encryption, more specifically WEP encryption?</p>
