• Abstract: Device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) offers the strongest form of security against eavesdroppers bounded by the laws of quantum mechanics. However, a practical implementation is still pending due to the requirement of combinations of visibility and detection efficiency that are beyond those possible with current technology. This mismatch motivates the search for DI-QKD protocols that can close the gap between theoretical and practical security. In this work, we present two DI-QKD protocols whose security relies on Bell inequalities with more than two inputs and two outputs. We show that, for maximally entangled states and perfect visibility, a protocol based on a Bell inequality with three inputs and four outputs requires a slightly lower detection efficiency than the protocols based on Bell inequalities with two inputs and two outputs.

  There are two primary approaches to achieving quantum-resistant security: quantum key distribution (QKD) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) We introduce the pros and cons of these protocols and explore how they can be combined to achieve a higher level of security and/or improved performance in key distribution. We hope our discussion inspires further research into the design of hybrid cryptographic protocols for quantum-classical communication networks.

  We investigate DIQKD protocols based on a routed setup. In these protocols, photons from the source are routed by an actively controlled switch to a nearby test device instead of the distant one. We find that in an ideal case routed DIQKD protocols can significantly improve detection efficiency requirements, by up to $sim 30%$.

• One-sided DI-QKD secure against coherent attacks over long distances [0.0]
  Device-Independent (DI) QKD protocols overcome this issue by making minimal device assumptions. We show that a one-sided DI QKD scheme with two measurements per party is secure against coherent attacks up to detection efficiencies greater than 50.1% specifically on the untrusted side. We also show that, by placing the source of states close to the untrusted side, our protocol is secure over distances comparable to standard QKD protocols.

  Bell tests are the most rigorous method for verifying entanglement in quantum networks. If there is any signaling between the parties, then the violation of Bell inequalities can no longer be used. We propose a semi-device independent protocol that allows us to numerically correct for effects of correlations in experimental probability distributions.
