Concise and tight security analysis of the Bennett–Brassard 1984 protocol with finite key lengths

We present a tight security analysis of the Bennett–Brassard 1984 protocol taking into account the finite-size effect of key distillation and achieving unconditional security. We begin by presenting a concise analysis utilizing the normal approximation of the hypergeometric function. Next we show th...
