Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution with Local Bell Test

Device-independent quantum key distribution (DIQKD) in its current design requires a violation of a Bell’s inequality between two parties, Alice and Bob, who are connected by a quantum channel. However, in reality, quantum channels are lossy and current DIQKD protocols are thus vulnerable to attacks...
