What is the significance of the secret key rate (K) in QKD, and how is it bounded by the entropies shared between the reference system and the eavesdropper, and the reference system and Bob's system?

Saturday, 15 June 2024 by EITCA Academy

In the field of quantum cryptography, the secret key rate in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a critical parameter that quantifies the efficiency and security of the key generation process. The secret key rate represents the rate at which secure cryptographic keys can be generated between two parties, typically referred to as Alice and Bob,
