Decoy State Quantum Key Distribution [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2005 There has been much interest in quantum key distribution. Experimentally, quantum key distribution over 150 km of commercial Telecom fibers has been successfully performed. The crucial issue in quantum key distribution is its security. Unfortunately, all

Quantum Key Distribution [PDF]
, 2011 This chapter describes the application of lasers, specifically diode lasers, in the area of quantum key distribution (QKD). First, we motivate the distribution of cryptographic keys based on quantum physical properties of light, give a brief introduction

Layered Quantum Key Distribution [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2017 We introduce a family of QKD protocols for distributing shared random keys within a network of $n$ users. The advantage of these protocols is that any possible key structure needed within the network, including broadcast keys shared among subsets of ...

Security of Quantum Key Distribution
IEEE Access, 2016 The security issues facing quantum key distribution (QKD) are explained, herein focusing on those issues that are cryptographic and information theoretic in nature and not those based on physics. The problem of security criteria is addressed.

The Case for Quantum Key Distribution [PDF]
, 2009 Quantum key distribution (QKD) promises secure key agreement by using quantum mechanical systems. We argue that QKD will be an important part of future cryptographic infrastructures.

A Proof of the Security of Quantum Key Distribution [PDF]
Journal of Cryptology, 1999 We prove the security of quantum key distribution against the most general attacks which can be performed on the channel, by an eavesdropper who has unlimited computation abilities, and the full power allowed by the rules of classical and quantum physics.

Quantum Kolmogorov Complexity and Quantum Key Distribution [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2009 We discuss the Bennett-Brassard 1984 (BB84) quantum key distribution protocol in the light of quantum algorithmic information. While Shannon's information theory needs a probability to define a notion of information, algorithmic information theory does ...

Quantum key distribution via quantum encryption [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2001 A quantum key distribution protocol based on quantum encryption is presented in this Brief Report. In this protocol, the previously shared Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs act as the quantum key to encode and decode the classical cryptography key.

Symmetric Autocompensating Quantum Key Distribution [PDF]
, 2003 We present quantum key distribution schemes which are autocompensating (require no alignment) and symmetric (Alice and Bob receive photons from a central source) for both polarization and time-bin qubits.
