Zero-error attacks on a quantum key distribution FSO system
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a method for exchanging keys between two parties (Alice and Bob) with an absolute level of security in the ideal scenario. QKD systems are vulnerable to hacking through secondary emissions of photons by SPAD detectors, known as backflash. In this work, we derive an information leakage probability model for the scenario of QKD in a free space communication (FSO) system, and suggest a method for its minimization.
