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…
A countermeasure against bright-light attack on superconducting nanowire single-photon detector in quantum key distribution
Mikhail Elezov, Roman Ozhegov, Gregory Goltsman +1
We present an active anti-latching system for superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. We experimentally test it against a bright-light attack, previously used to compromi…
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…
