Energy-time attack on detectors in quantum key distribution
Konstantin Zaitsev, Vladimir Bizin, Dmitriy Kuzmin +1
Quantum key distribution is unbreakable in theory but may be hacked via imperfections in its hardware implementations. While many imperfections have been mitigated by countermeasur…
Controlling a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector using tailored bright illumination
Lars Lydersen, Mohsen K. Akhlaghi, A. Hamed Majedi +2
We experimentally demonstrate that a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector is deterministically controllable by bright illumination. We found that bright light can tempor…
Tailored bright illumination attack on distributed-phase-reference protocols
Lars Lydersen, Johannes Skaar, Vadim Makarov
Detector control attacks on quantum key distribution systems exploit the linear mode of avalanche photodiode in single photon detectors. So far, the protocols under consideration h…
