Real-time monitoring of single-photon detectors against eavesdropping in quantum key distribution systems
T. Ferreira da Silva, G. B. Xavier, G. P. Temporão +1
By employing real-time monitoring of single-photon avalanche photodiodes we demonstrate how two types of practical eavesdropping strategies, the after-gate and time-shift attacks,…

Real-time characterization of gated-mode single-photon detectors
T. Ferreira da Silva, G. B. Xavier, J. P. von der Weid
We propose a characterization method for the overall detection efficiency, afterpulse and dark count probabilities of single-photon counting modules in real-time with simple instru…
