Fiber and free-space practical decoy state QKD for both BB84 and SARG04 protocols by Ali, Sellami, Wahiddin, Mohamed Ridza

“…Fiber and free-space practical decoy state quantum key distribution has been simulated for both BB84 and SARG04 protocols. The numerical simulation has shown that the fiber based QKD and free space QKD systems using the proposed method for BB84 are able to achieve both a higher secret key rate and greater secure distance than that of SARG04…”

Fiber based practical QKD system by Ali, Sellami, Ahmed, Abdallah Hassen, Mohammed, Sellami, Chowdhury, Md. Sazzad Hossien, Hassan Abdalla Hashim, Aisha, Mahmoud, Omer

“…A method to estimate parameters of the decoy state method based on one decoy state protocol for both BB84 and SARG04 has been presented. This method has given different lower bound of the fraction of single-photon counts (y1), the fraction of two-photon counts (y2), the upper bound QBER of single -photon pulses (e1), the upper bound QBER of two-photon pulses (e2), and the lower bound of key generation rate for both BB84 and SARG04. …”

Practical quantum key distribution by Ali, Sellami

“…We have presented a method to estimate parameters of the decoy state protocol based on one decoy state protocol for both BB84 and SARG04. This method can give different lower bound of the fraction of single-photon counts (y1), the fraction of two-photon counts (y2), the upper bound QBER of single-photon pulses (e1), the upper bound QBER of two-photon pulses (e2), and the lower bound of key generation rate for both BB84 and SARG04. …”

Independent attacks in imperfect settings: a case for two-way quantum key distribution scheme by Shamsul Shaari, Jesni, Bahari, Iskandar

“…We review the study on a two-way quantum key distribution protocol given imperfect settings through a simple analysis of a toy model and show that it can outperform a BB84 setup. We provide the sufficient condition for this as a ratio of optimal intensities for the protocols.…”

Feasibility of QKD over FSO Link by Husagić-Selman, Alma, Al-Khateeb, Wajdi Fawzi Mohammed, Saharudin, Shuhairi

“…The paper discusses how different factors, such as link distance, weather, beam intensity and transceivers setup, influence key size when BB84 QKD protocol is used. For each weather condition specific for Malaysia key size was obtained, and the percentage of the received key compared to the total generated key is calculated. …”
