Numerical calculations of the finite key rate for general quantum key distribution protocols

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 specific protocol being simple or highly symmetric as well as repr...
