Security evaluation of quantum distance-bounding protocols via semidefinite programming

Kevin Bogner, Aysajan Abidin, Dave Singelee +1

Quantum distance-bounding (QDB) protocols let a verifier check that a prover is both genuine and physically nearby. During a timed fast phase of quantum communication, the verifier…
