Quantum Flows for Secret Key Distribution in the Presence of the Photon Number Splitting Attack
Entropy, 2014 Physical implementations of quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols, like the Bennett-Brassard (BB84), are forced to use attenuated coherent quantum states, because the sources of single photon states are not functional yet for QKD applications. However,

On single-photon quantum key distribution in the presence of loss [PDF]
, 2006 We investigate two-way and one-way single-photon quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols in the presence of loss introduced by the quantum channel. Our analysis is based on a simple precondition for secure QKD in each case. In particular, the legitimate

Two-dimensional quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol for increased key rate fiber-based quantum communications [PDF]
2017 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC), 2017 We experimentally prove a novel two-dimensional QKD scheme, relying on differential phasetime shifting (DPTS) of strongly attenuated weak coherent pulses. We demonstrate QKD transmission up to 170 km standard fiber, and even include a classical channel up to 90 km.
