0 Security of Continuous Variable Quantum Cryptography
We discuss a quantum key distribution scheme in which small phase and amplitude modulations of CW light beams carry the key information. The presence of EPR type correlations provides the quantum protection. We identify universal constraints on the level of shared information between the intended receiver (Bob) and any eavesdropper (Eve) and use this to make a general evaluation of security. We...
متن کاملContinuous variable quantum cryptography using coherent states.
We propose several methods for quantum key distribution (QKD) based on the generation and transmission of random distributions of coherent or squeezed states, and we show that they are secure against individual eavesdropping attacks. These protocols require that the transmission of the optical line between Alice and Bob is larger than 50%, but they do not rely on "sub-shot-noise" features such ...
متن کاملImplementation of continuous variable quantum cryptography in optical fibres using a go-&-return configuration
It has been demonstrated theoretically that several protocols of quantum key distribution (QKD) based on continuous variables allow one to achieve a large quantum bit rate. Some implementations of those protocols have already shown the potential of this technique [1, 2]. However, the efficiency of those protocols is very sensitive to losses and the reconciliation protocols aren’t efficient enou...
متن کاملContinuous Variable Quantum Cryptography using Two-Way Quantum Communication
Quantum cryptography has been recently extended to continuous variable systems, e.g., the bosonic modes of the electromagnetic field. In particular, several cryptographic protocols have been proposed and experimentally implemented using bosonic modes with Gaussian statistics. Such protocols have shown the possibility of reaching very high secret key rates, even in the presence of strong losses ...
متن کاملContinuous variable quantum cryptography: beating the 3 dB loss limit.
We demonstrate that secure quantum key distribution systems based on continuous variable implementations can operate beyond the apparent 3 dB loss limit that is implied by the beam splitting attack. The loss limit was established for standard minimum uncertainty states such as coherent states. We show that, by an appropriate postselection mechanism, we can enter a region where Eve's knowledge o...
