• Abstract summary: We have done a comparison between the BB84 and B92 protocols and BBM92 and E91 entanglement based protocols for satellite based uplink and downlink in low Earth orbit. The results indicate that, when compared to the B92 protocol, the BB84 protocol guarantees the distribution of a higher secure keyrate for a specific distance.

• Abstract: Quantum Key Distribution is a key distribution method that uses the qubits to safely distribute one-time use encryption keys between two or more authorised participants in a way that ensures the identification of any eavesdropper. In this paper, we have done a comparison between the BB84 and B92 protocols and BBM92 and E91 entanglement based protocols for satellite based uplink and downlink in low Earth orbit. The expressions for the quantum bit error rate and the keyrate are given for all four protocols. The results indicate that, when compared to the B92 protocol, the BB84 protocol guarantees the distribution of a higher secure keyrate for a specific distance. Similarly, it is observed that BBM92 ensures higher keyrate in comparison with E91 protocol.

  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 $sim 30%$.

  Satellite-based quantum communication for secure key distribution is becoming a more demanding field of research due to its unbreakable security. In entanglement-based protocols such as BB84 consider the satellite as a trusted device, fraught with danger. BBM92 protocol will be more beneficial for key distribution as we found a linear connection between the extent of violation for Bell-CHSH inequality and the quantum bit error rate for a given setup.

  Quantum key distribution allows two parties to establish a shared secret key that is secure against all-powerful adversaries. One such protocol named B92 is quite appealing due to its simplicity but is highly sensitive to channel noise. We investigate a high-dimensional variant of an extended version of the B92 protocol and show that it can distill a key over high noise channels.

  Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (QKD) employs the quadratures of a bosonic mode to establish a secret key between two remote parties. We consider a protocol with homodyne detection in the general setting of composable finite-size security. In particular, we analyze the high signal-to-noise regime which requires the use of high-rate (non-binary) low-density parity check codes.

• Round-robin differential phase-time-shifting protocol for quantum key distribution: theory and experiment [58.03659958248968]
  Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows the establishment of common cryptographic keys among distant parties. Recently, a QKD protocol that circumvents the need for monitoring signal disturbance, has been proposed and demonstrated in initial experiments. We derive the security proofs of the round-robin differential phase-time-shifting protocol in the collective attack scenario. Our results show that the RRDPTS protocol can achieve higher secret key rate in comparison with the RRDPS, in the condition of high quantum bit error rate.

• A polarization quantum key distribution scheme based on phase matching [0.0]
  The Quantum Key Distribution protocol can encode a single quantum state and implements an information-theoretically secure key distribution protocol in communication. This paper successfully gives the polarization scheme of this PM-QKD protocol, the bases in the polarization scheme are arbitrary, and eliminates detector side channel attacks. The simulation results show that our protocol is superior to the BB84 protocol in terms of transmission distance under the fixed key rate.
