Using quantum key distribution for cryptographic purposes: a survey

Romain Alléaume, Cyril Branciard, Jan Bouda +20

The appealing feature of quantum key distribution (QKD), from a cryptographic viewpoint, is the ability to prove the information-theoretic security (ITS) of the established keys. A…

Trojan Horse attacks on Quantum Key Distribution systems

N. Gisin, S. Fasel, B. Kraus +2

General Trojan horse attacks on quantum key distribution systems are analyzed. We illustrate the power of such attacks with today's technology and conclude that all system must imp…

Towards practical and fast Quantum Cryptography

Nicolas Gisin, Gregoire Ribordy, Hugo Zbinden +3

We present a new protocol for practical quantum cryptography, tailored for an implementation with weak coherent pulses. The key is obtained by a very simple time-of-arrival measure…

Quantum key distribution over 30km of standard fiber using energy-time entangled photon pairs: a comparison of two chromatic dispersion reduction methods

Sylvain Fasel, Nicolas Gisin, Grégoire Ribordy +1

We present a full implementation of a quantum key distribution system using energy-time entangled photon pairs and functioning with a 30km standard telecom fiber quantum channel. T…
