Abstract
The relativistic quantum protocols realizing the bit commitment and distant coin tossing schemes are proposed. The protocols are based on the fact that the non-stationary orthogonal extended quantum states cannot be reliably distinguished if they are not fully accessible for the measurement. As the states propagate from the domain controlled by one of the user to the domain accessible for the measurements performed by the other user, they become reliably distinguishable for the second user. Important for the protocol are both the quantum nature of the states and the existence of a finite maximum speed of the signal propagation imposed by the special relativity.
