These lectures look at the current state of the art in quantum cryptography applied to tasks which, unlike key distribution, are carried out between mistrustful parties. I focus in particular on known protocols, security proofs, and no-go theorems for bit commitment, coin tossing, and related tasks, and try to draw some general morals about the scope for research in quantum cryptography.
