• Abstract: Quantum physical layer security protocols offer significant advantages, particularly in space communications, but their achievable secrecy rates are often limited to the asymptotic regime. Realistic communication systems, however, demand non-asymptotic solutions. Recently, the $\alpha$-order information-theoretic metrics based on R\'enyi entropy has been proposed. We study their practical applicability to engineering secure quantum communication systems. By deriving a composable security bound using sandwiched R\'{e}nyi entropy, we apply our framework to a practical scenario involving BPSK modulation over a lossy bosonic channel, consistent with DVB-S2X standards. We highlight a critical trade-off between reliability and security, by showing that current coding rates may fall short of supporting positive secure coding rates under physical layer security considerations. This emphasizes the need for higher coding rates or additional frame lengths to balance reliability-security trade-offs effectively. Through this application, we demonstrate the utility of $\alpha$-order measures for advancing secure communication in quantum physical layer designs.
