Finite-key security against coherent attacks in quantum key distribution
Finite-key security against coherent attacks in quantum key distribution
Christandl et al (2009 Phys. Rev. Lett. 102 020504) provide, in particular, the possibility of studying unconditional security in the finite-key regime for all discrete-variable protocols. We spell out this bound from their general formalism. Then, we apply it in the analysis of a recently proposed protocol (Laing et al …
