Simple security proofs for continuous variable quantum key distribution with intensity fluctuating sources

Abstract Despite tremendous theoretical and experimental progress in continuous variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD), the security has not been rigorously established for most current continuous variable quantum key distribution systems that have imperfections. Among these imperfections, int...
