Trusted Noise in Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution: A Threat and a Defense

We address the role of the phase-insensitive trusted preparation and detection noise in the security of a continuous-variable quantum key distribution, considering the Gaussian protocols on the basis of coherent and squeezed states and studying them in the conditions of Gaussian lossy and noisy chan...
