Encryption and decryption are carried out via an appropriate measurement process on entangled states as governed by a quantum mechanical, asymmetrical and dynamical public key distribution. The use of public keys leads to a high availability of our scheme, while their quantum nature is shown to ensure unconditional security of the proposed algorithm.

In particular, we determine the intracavity and output photon statistics of the laser light in a broad range of parameters. We find an inner sub-Poissonian statistics with a Mandel parameter close to the minimal value Ϫ1 when the laser is operating with initially prepared atoms, off resonant, and without inversion of the populations. In another regime, with, however, less favorable intracavity statistics, we find squeezing in the intensity output fluctuations of 80%, which is well above the present state of art noise reduction for this kind of coherently driven laser system. ͓S1050-2947͑97͒03802-X͔
