How does the binary entropy function (H_2(delta)) relate to the security of the BB84 protocol in the presence of an eavesdropper?

Saturday, 15 June 2024 by EITCA Academy

The binary entropy function plays a important role in the security analysis of the BB84 protocol, particularly in the context of eavesdropping. The BB84 protocol, proposed by Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard in 1984, is a quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme that allows two parties, traditionally named Alice and Bob, to securely share a cryptographic
