Experimental measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution.
Quantum key distribution is proven to offer unconditional security in communication between two remote users with ideal source and detection. Unfortunately, ideal devices never exist in practice and device imperfections have become the targets of various attacks. By developing up-conversion single-photon detectors with high efficiency and low noise, we faithfully demonstrate the measurement-dev...
متن کاملExperimental measurement-device-independent verification of quantum steering.
Bell non-locality between distant quantum systems--that is, joint correlations which violate a Bell inequality--can be verified without trusting the measurement devices used, nor those performing the measurements. This leads to unconditionally secure protocols for quantum information tasks such as cryptographic key distribution. However, complete verification of Bell non-locality requires high ...
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 However, as practical devices tend to deviate from their specifications, the security of some practical systems is no longer valid.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 کاملUnconditionally Secure Multipartite Quantum Key Distribution
We consider the problem of secure key distribution among n trustful agents: the goal is to distribute an identical random bit-string among the n agents over a noisy channel such that eavesdroppers learn little about it. We study the general situation where the only resources required are secure bipartite key distribution and authenticated classical communication. Accordingly, multipartite quant...
متن کاملThe Exact Price for Unconditionally Secure Asymmetric Cryptography
A completely insecure communication channel can only be transformed into an unconditionally secure channel if some informationtheoretic primitive is given to start from. All previous approaches to realizing such authenticity and privacy from weak primitives were symmetric in the sense that security for both parties was achieved. We show that asymmetric information-theoretic security can, howeve...
