Quantum key distribution is the best known application of quantum cryptography. Previously proposed proofs of security of quantum key distribution contain various technical subtle...
In this work we present the principles of a flexible quantum key distribution (QKD) system using quadraturephase-shift-keying (QPSK) base and symbol encoding and dualthreshold bala...

The application of the principles of quantum mechanics to cryptography has led to a respectable new dimension in confidential communication. As a result of these developments, it i...
The existing unconditional security definitions of quantum key distribution (QKD) do not apply to joint attacks over QKD and the subsequent use of the resulting key. In this paper...

The use of quantum bits (qubits) in cryptography holds the promise of secure cryptographic quantum key distribution schemes. Unfortunately, the implemented schemes are often operat...
