Reply to "Avoiding the Detector Blinding Attack on Quantum Cryptography"
Lars Lydersen, Carlos Wiechers, Christoffer Wittmann +3
This is a reply to the comment by Yuan et al. [arXiv:1009.6130v1] on our publication [arXiv:1008.4593].
Full-field implementation of a perfect eavesdropper on a quantum cryptography system
Ilja Gerhardt, Qin Liu, Antia Lamas-Linares +3
Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows two remote parties to grow a shared secret key. Its security is founded on the principles of quantum mechanics, but in reality it significantl…
Thermal blinding of gated detectors in quantum cryptography
Lars Lydersen, Carlos Wiechers, Christoffer Wittmann +3
It has previously been shown that the gated detectors of two commercially available quantum key distribution (QKD) systems are blindable and controllable by an eavesdropper using c…
Hacking commercial quantum cryptography systems by tailored bright illumination
Lars Lydersen, Carlos Wiechers, Christoffer Wittmann +3
The peculiar properties of quantum mechanics allow two remote parties to communicate a private, secret key, which is protected from eavesdropping by the laws of physics. So-called…
