Unconditional security of the Bennett 1992 quantum key-distribution scheme with strong reference pulse
Kiyoshi Tamaki, Norbert Lütkenhaus, Masato Koashi +1
We prove the unconditional security of the original Bennett 1992 protocol with strong reference pulse. We show that we may place a projection onto suitably defined qubit spaces bef…
Higher Security Thresholds for Quantum Key Distribution by Improved Analysis of Dark Counts
J. -C. Boileau, J. Batuwantudawe, R. Laflamme
We discuss the potential of quantum key distribution (QKD) for long distance communication by proposing a new analysis of the errors caused by dark counts. We give sufficient condi…
Unconditional Security of Three State Quantum Key Distribution Protocols
J. -C. Boileau, K. Tamaki, J. Batuwantudawe +2
Quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols are cryptographic techniques with security based only on the laws of quantum mechanics. Two prominent QKD schemes are the BB84 and B92 prot…
