Countermeasures Against Blinding Attack on Superconducting Nanowire Detectors for QKD

Countermeasures Against Blinding Attack on Superconducting Nanowire Detectors for QKD

Nowadays, the superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) are used in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) instead of single-photon avalanche photodiodes. Recently bright-light control of the SSPD has been demonstrated. This attack employed a “backdoor” in the detector biasing technique. We developed...
