Quantum Key Distillation Using Binary Frames

Quantum Key Distillation Using Binary Frames

We introduce a new integral method for Quantum Key Distribution to perform sifting, reconciliation and amplification processes to establish a cryptographic key through the use of binary matrices called frames which are capable to increase quadratically the secret key rate. Since the eavesdropper has...
