A quantum key distribution scheme based on tripartite entanglement and violation of CHSH inequality (1707.06645v1)
Published 20 Jul 2017 in quant-ph
Abstract: Entanglement is a well-known resource in quantum information, in particular it can be exploited for quantum key distribution (QKD). In this paper we define a two-way QKD scheme employing GHZ-type states of three qubits obtaining an extension of the standard E91 protocol with a significant increasing of the number of shared bits. Eavesdropping attacks can be detected measuring violation of the CHSH inequality and the secret key rate can be estimated in a device-independent scenario.
