Finite-key security analyses on passive decoy-state QKD protocols with different unstable sources
In quantum communication, passive decoy-state QKD protocols can eliminate many side channels, but the protocols without any finite-key analyses are not suitable for in practice. The finite-key securities of passive decoy-state (PDS) QKD protocols with two different unstable sources, type-II parametric down-convention (PDC) and phase randomized weak coherent pulses (WCPs), are analyzed in our pa...
متن کاملPassive Decoy State Quantum Key Distribution
The use of decoy states enhances the performance of practical quantum key distribution systems significantly by monitoring the quantum channel in a more detailed way. While active modulation of the intensity of the pulses is an effective way of preparing decoy states in principle, in practice passive preparation might be desirable in some scenarios. Known passive methods involve parametric down...
متن کاملNon-Poissonian statistics from Poissonian light sources with application to passive decoy state quantum key distribution.
We propose a method to prepare different non-Poissonian signal pulses from sources of Poissonian photon number distribution, using only linear optical elements and threshold photon detectors. This method allows a simple passive preparation of decoy states for quantum key distribution. We show that the resulting key rates are comparable with the performance of active choices of intensities of Po...
متن کاملQuantum key distribution with passive decoy state selection
We propose a quantum key distribution scheme which closely matches the performance of a perfect single photon source. It nearly attains the physical upper bound in terms of key generation rate and maximally achievable distance. Our scheme relies on a practical setup based on a parametric downconversion source and present day, nonideal photon-number detection. Arbitrary experimental imperfection...
متن کاملClassical Security Protocols for QKD Systems
The purpose of this report is to document the three principal classes of classic cryptographic protocols which are needed in systems for quantum key distribution. We will detail the protocols used for secretkey reconciliation by public discussion, privacy ampli cation by public discussion, and unconditionally secure authentication. We suggest the use of the model checking method for the analys...
