Optical control of single-photon negative-feedback avalanche diode detector

Gaëtan Gras, Nigar Sultana, Anqi Huang +4

We experimentally demonstrate optical control of negative-feedback avalanche diode (NFAD) detectors using bright light. We deterministically generate fake single-photon detections…

Attacking quantum key distribution by light injection via ventilation openings

Juan Carlos Garcia-Escartin, Shihan Sajeed, Vadim Makarov

Quantum cryptography promises security based on the laws of physics with proofs of security against attackers of unlimited computational power. However, deviations from the origina…

An approach for security evaluation and certification of a complete quantum communication system

Shihan Sajeed, Poompong Chaiwongkhot, Anqi Huang +8

Although quantum communication systems are being deployed on a global scale, their realistic security certification is not yet available. Here we present a security evaluation and…

Controlling single-photon detector ID210 with bright light

Vladimir Chistiakov, Anqi Huang, Vladimir Egorov +1

We experimentally demonstrate that a single-photon detector ID210 commercially available from ID Quantique is vulnerable to blinding and can be fully controlled by bright illuminat…

Laser damage attack against optical attenuators in quantum key distribution

Anqi Huang, Ruoping Li, Vladimir Egorov +3

Many quantum key distribution systems employ a laser followed by an optical attenuator to prepare weak coherent states in the source. Their mean photon number must be pre-calibrate…

Laser seeding attack in quantum key distribution

Anqi Huang, Álvaro Navarrete, Shi-Hai Sun +3

Quantum key distribution (QKD) based on the laws of quantum physics allows the secure distribution of secret keys over an insecure channel. Unfortunately, imperfect implementations…
