As an application of these techniques, we prove the security of quantum key distribution (QKD), i.e. secret key agreement by communication over a quantum channel. In particular, we show that, in order to analyze
Quantum key distribution (QKD)1,2is currently the most successful application of quantum information science and serves as the first stepping stone towards a future quantum communication network3. A core advantage of QKD compared to other quantum communication tasks is that it is ready to implement ...
Quantum Key Distribution is a method that allows two parties, such as Alice and Bob, to securely exchange information by utilizing quantum and classical channels to establish a secret key for encryption. This process ensures that any attempt by an eavesdropper to gain information about the key wil...
Quantum key distribution has emerged as the most viable scheme to guarantee information security in the presence of large-scale quantum computers and, thanks to the continuous progress made in the past 20 years, it is now commercially available. However, the secret key rates remain limited to jus...
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a cryptography protocol based on the fundamental principles of quantum physics (QP). Teaching this subject does not require extensive knowledge beyond these principles, making it suitable for inclusion in high school (HS

Mistrustful quantum cryptography studies the area of mistrustful cryptography using quantum systems. In contrast to quantum key distribution where unconditional security can be achieved based only on the laws of quantum physics, in the case of various tasks in mistrustful cryptography there are no-go...
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a family of protocols for growing a private encryption key between two parties. Despite much progress, all ground-based QKD approaches have a distance limit due to atmospheric losses or in-fibre attenuation. These limita
The required mean photon number is calculated for secure key distribution under these attacks. Experimentally fixing the mean photon number using a set of optical attenuators suffices the security under these attacks. Effect of dispersion and electro-optic modulation The performance of the fiber optic...
