Pulsed laser attack at 1061 nm potentially compromises quantum key distribution
Anastasiya Ponosova, Irina Zhluktova, Daria Ruzhitskaya +6
Quantum key distribution systems offer cryptographic security, provided that all their components are thoroughly characterised. However, certain components might be vulnerable to a…

Robustness of fiber-optic attenuators to 1061-nm sub-nanosecond pulsed laser radiation in quantum key distribution systems
Daria Ruzhitskaya, Irina Zhluktova, Anastasiya Ponosova +10
The security of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems relies on the physical integrity of their components. While laser-damage attacks (LDAs) using high-power continuous-wave (cw)…

Preparing a commercial quantum key distribution system for certification against implementation loopholes
Vadim Makarov, Alexey Abrikosov, Poompong Chaiwongkhot +9
A commercial quantum key distribution (QKD) system needs to be formally certified to enable its wide deployment. The certification should include the system's robustness against kn…
