Satellite-Based Quantum Key Distribution in the Presence of Bypass Channels

The security of prepare-and-measure satellite-based quantum key distribution (QKD), under restricted eavesdropping scenarios, is addressed. We particularly consider cases where the eavesdropper, Eve, has limited access to the transmitted signal by Alice and/or Bob’s receiver station. This restrictio...
