Finite-key analysis for practical implementations of quantum key distribution
The lists of bits processed in quantum key distribution are necessarily of finite length. The need for finite-key unconditional security bounds was recognized long ago, but the theoretical tools have become available only very recently. We provide finite-key unconditional security bounds for two practical implementations of the Bennett–Brassard 1984 coding: prepareand-measure implementations wi...
متن کاملFinite-key analysis for measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution.
Quantum key distribution promises unconditionally secure communications. However, as practical devices tend to deviate from their specifications, the security of some practical systems is no longer valid. In particular, an adversary can exploit imperfect detectors to learn a large part of the secret key, even though the security proof claims otherwise. Recently, a practical approach--measuremen...
متن کاملNumerical approach for unstructured quantum key distribution
Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows for communication with security guaranteed by quantum theory. The main theoretical problem in QKD is to calculate the secret key rate for a given protocol. Analytical formulas are known for protocols with symmetries, since symmetry simplifies the analysis. However, experimental imperfections break symmetries, hence the effect of imperfections on key rates i...
متن کاملFinite-key analysis of high-dimensional time-energy entanglement-based quantum key distribution
We present a security analysis against collective attacks for a time-energy entanglement-based quantum key distribution protocol, given the practical constraints of single photon detector efficiency, channel loss, and finite-key considerations. We find a positive secure-key capacity when the key length increases beyond 104 for eight-dimensional systems. The minimum key length required is reduce...
متن کاملFinite-key analysis for time-energy high-dimensional quantum key distribution
Time-energy high-dimensional quantum key distribution (HD-QKD) leverages the high-dimensional nature of time-energy entangled biphotons and the loss tolerance from the discrete nature of single-photon detection thus enabling long-distance key distribution with high photon information efficiency (PIE). However, the security of HD-QKD has only been proven in the asymptotic regime, or in the finit...
