Sifting problems in finite-size quantum key distribution Extended Abstract
Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows for unconditionally secure communication between two parties (Alice and Bob). A recent breakthrough in the theory of QKD is the treatment of finite-key scenarios, pioneered by Renner and collaborators (see [1], for example). This has made QKD theory practically relevant, since the asymptotic regime associated with infinitely many exchanged quantum signals i...
متن کاملQuantum Key Distribution Without Sifting
We propose a novel quantum key distribution protocol that uses AES to expand an initial secret, allowing us to individually authenticate every qubit, with tags that are efficient to construct. In exchange for an increase in the amount of classical data to be transmitted, the tags can be handled such that they allow secure key generation from two photon states, and make BB84 exactly 100% efficie...
متن کاملFinite-key analysis for practical implementations of quantum key distribution
The lists of bits processed in quantum key distribution are necessarily of finite length. The need for finite-key unconditional security bounds was recognized long ago, but the theoretical tools have become available only very recently. We provide finite-key unconditional security bounds for two practical implementations of the Bennett–Brassard 1984 coding: prepareand-measure implementations wi...
متن کاملFinite-key analysis for measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution.
Quantum key distribution promises unconditionally secure communications. However, as practical devices tend to deviate from their specifications, the security of some practical systems is no longer valid. In particular, an adversary can exploit imperfect detectors to learn a large part of the secret key, even though the security proof claims otherwise. Recently, a practical approach--measuremen...
متن کاملRandom Key Pre-Distribution Techniques against Sybil Attacks
Sybil attacks pose a serious threat for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) security. They can create problems in routing, voting schemes, decision making, distributed storage and sensor re-programming. In a Sybil attack, the attacker masquerades as multiple sensor identities that are actually controlled by one or a few existing attacker nodes. Sybil identities are fabricated out of stolen keys, obt...
