It is shown by a simple security proof that for any state sent by the sender, the eavesdropper can only guess the output state with a probability that will allow her not to learn more than half of the classical Shannon information shared between the legitimate parties.

Simple proof of security of the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol

We prove that the 1984 protocol of Bennett and Brassard (BB84) for quantum key distribution is secure. We first give a key distribution protocol based on entanglement purification, which can be…

Optimal Eavesdropping in Quantum Cryptography with Six States

A generalization of the quantum cryptographic protocol by Bennett and Brassard is discussed, using three conjugate bases, i.e. six states, and it is shown that this scheme is safer against eavesdropping on single qubits than the one based on two conjugates.

Unconditional security of quantum key distribution over arbitrarily long distances

The problem is solved by showing that, given fault-tolerant quantum computers, quantum key distribution over an arbitrarily long distance of a realistic noisy channel can be made unconditionally secure.

Unconditional security in quantum cryptography

Basic techniques to prove the unconditional security of quantum crypto graphy are described and a practical variation on the protocol in which the channel is noisy and photos may be lost during the transmission is considered.

Experimental quantum cryptography

An apparatus and protocol designed to implement quantum key distribution is described, by which two users exchange a random quantum transmission, consisting of very faint flashes of polarized light, which remains secure against an adversary with unlimited computing power.

Quantum cryptography using any two nonorthogonal states.

It is shown that in principle any two nonorthogonal quantum states suffice, and a practical interferometric realization using low-intensity coherent light pulses is described.

The very fast progress in both theory and experiments over the recent years are reviewed, with emphasis on open questions and technological issues.

The security of practical quantum key distribution

Essential theoretical tools that have been developed to assess the security of the main experimental platforms are presented (discrete- variable, continuous-variable, and distributed-phase-reference protocols).
