Key generation schemes for channel authentication in quantum key distribution protocol [PDF]
Quantum key distribution (QKD) systems enable secure key generation between two parties. Such systems require an authenticated classical channel for QKD protocols to work. Usually, the initial authentication key for this channel is pre‐shared.

Centralized Threshold Key Generation Protocol Based on Shamir Secret Sharing and HMAC Authentication
Many group key management protocols have been proposed to manage key generation and distribution of vehicular communication. However, most of them suffer from high communication and computation costs due to the complex elliptic curve and bilinear pairing

Improved DIQKD protocols with finite-size analysis [PDF]
The security of finite-length keys is essential for the implementation of device-independent quantum key distribution (DIQKD). Presently, there are several finite-size DIQKD security proofs, but they are mostly focused on standard DIQKD protocols and do ...

QKD key generation control protocol
Abstract Polarization-encoding fiber QKD requires compensation of polarization distortion caused by birefringence in optical fiber. Solving this task inevitably requires losing some effectiveness in terms of the final key rate. In this work, a time-division multiplexing protocol for polarisation calibration is suggested.

Numerical calculations of the finite key rate for general quantum key distribution protocols [PDF]
Finite key analysis of quantum key distribution (QKD) is an important tool for any QKD implementation. While much work has been done on the framework of finite key analysis, the application to individual protocols often relies on the the specific protocol being simple or highly symmetric as well as represented in small finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.

Path-encoded high-dimensional quantum communication over a 2-km multicore fiber
Quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols based on high-dimensional quantum states have shown the route to increase the key rate generation while benefiting of enhanced error tolerance, thus overcoming the limitations of two-dimensional QKD protocols ...

Device-independent quantum key distribution with single-photon sources [PDF]
$\textit{Device-independent quantum key distribution}$ protocols allow two honest users to establish a secret key with minimal levels of trust on the provider, as security is proven without any assumption on the inner working of the devices used for the ...
