• Abstract: In a recent paper (Scheme of the arrangement for attack on the protocol BB84, Optik 127(18):7083-7087, Sept 2016), a protocol was proposed for using weak measurement to attack BB84. This claimed the four basis states typically used could be perfectly discriminated, and so an interceptor could obtain all information carried. We show this attack fails when considered using standard quantum mechanics, as expected - such ``single-shot" quantum state discrimination is impossible, even using weak measurement.

Our protocols leverage fundamentally distinct resources to close the security loopholes linked to measurement devices, while also effectively doubling the distance for secure direct message transmission.

  In idling qubits, information can 'leak' into neighbouring qubits, become non-locally distributed, and ultimately inaccessible. No information-theoretic protocol exists to quantify this information loss due to internal dynamics. We implement this protocol in over 3500 experiments carried out across 4 months on IBM's entire Falcon 5.11 series of processors.

• Composable Security of Generalized BB84 Protocols Against General Attacks [0.0]
  Quantum key distribution protocols make it possible for two parties to generate a secret shared key. One of the most important QKD protocols, BB84, was suggested by Bennett and Brassard in 1984. Various proofs of unconditional security for BB84 have been suggested, but the first security proofs were not composable.

• Quantum cryptography with classical communication: parallel remote state preparation for copy-protection, verification, and more [125.99533416395765]
  Many cryptographic primitives are two-party protocols, where one party, Bob, has full quantum computational capabilities, and the other party, Alice, is only required to send random BB84 states to Bob. We show how such protocols can generically be converted to ones where Alice is fully classical, assuming that Bob cannot efficiently solve the LWE problem. This means that all communication between (classical) Alice and (quantum) Bob is classical, yet they can still make use of cryptographic primitives that would be impossible if both parties were classical.

We conclude that simplified BB84 can completely replace standard BB84 to be the best choice for QKD in most common practical scenarios.
