Design and Performance of Relay-Assisted Satellite Free-Space Optical Quantum Key Distribution Systems

This paper studies the design and performance analysis of relay-assisted satellite free-space optics (FSO) quantum key distribution (QKD) systems for secure vehicular networks. High-altitude platforms (HAPs) equipped with optical amplify-and-forward nodes are used as relay stations. Secrecy performa...
