Building Europe's first space-based Quantum Key Distribution system -- The German Aerospace Center's role in the EAGLE-1 mission
Gabriela Calistro-Rivera, Oliver Heirich, Amita Shrestha +16
The EAGLE-1 mission aims to develop Europe's first sovereign, end-to-end space-based quantum key distribution (QKD) system. The mission is led by the European Space Agency (ESA) an…
Security proof of the unbalanced phase-encoded BB84 protocol
Agnes Ferenczi, Varun Narasimhachar, Norbert Lütkenhaus
In optical implementations of the phase-encoded BB84 protocol, the bit information is usually encoded in the phase of two consecutive photon pulses generated in a Mach-Zehnder inte…
Symmetries in Quantum Key Distribution and the Connection between Optimal Attacks and Optimal Cloning
Agnes Ferenczi, Norbert Lütkenhaus
We investigate the connection between the optimal collective eavesdropping attack and the optimal cloning attack where the eavesdropper employs an optimal cloner to attack the quan…
