Security Aspects of Practical Quantum Cryptography
Gilles Brassard, Norbert Lütkenhaus, Tal Mor +1
The use of quantum bits (qubits) in cryptography holds the promise of secure cryptographic quantum key distribution schemes. Unfortunately, the implemented schemes can be totally i…

Unambiguous state discrimination in quantum cryptography with weak coherent states
Miloslav Dusek, Mika Jahma, Norbert Lütkenhaus
The use of linearly independent signal states in realistic implementations of quantum key distribution (QKD) enables an eavesdropper to perform unambiguous state discrimination. We…

Security against individual attacks for realistic quantum key distribution
Norbert Lütkenhaus
I prove the security of quantum key distribution against individual attacks for realistic signals sources, including weak coherent pulses and downconversion sources. The proof appl…
