Enhancing the Security of the BB84 Quantum Key Distribution Protocol against Detector-Blinding Attacks via the Use of an Active Quantum Entropy Source in the Receiving Station by Mario Stipčević

“…First, I show that the detector-blinding attack was in fact an attack on the receiver’s local entropy source. Second, based on this insight, I propose a modified receiver station and a statistical criterion which together enable the robust detection of any bright-light attack and thus restore security.…”

Chardh Narrative by mehdi dashti

“…The present paper is an attempt to indicate first, the preference of the two terms of «دﻮـﺧ ﺮـﮔ» and «دﻮـﺧ را», which share the same meaning and have been used in the former six versions (before 850 AH), to the term «دﻮﺧ رو» which has been erratically used in just one version of that era (before 850 AH). Second, based upon the first part, the verse must be dealt with as a conditional case and therefore interpreted. …”
