The performance of measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) with different numbers of decoy-state are compared. The statistical fluctuation due to the finite length of data is considered based on the standard statistical analysis. The simulation results show that two-decoy-state method is a nearly optimal estimation in the asymptotic case. In the condition of considering statistical fluctuations, the finite length of raw key will slightly decrease the secret key rate. In all simulation cases, the key rate is maximized by optimizing the intensities of the signals. Our numerical simulation may provide valuable theoretical reference for the practical MDI-QKD experiments.

Experimental weak + vacuum protocol has been demonstrated using commercial QKD system based on a standard bi-directional ‘Plug & Play’ set-up. By making simple modifications to a commercial quantum key distribution system, decoy state QKD allows us to achieve much better performance than QKD system without decoy state in terms of key generation rate and distance. We demonstrate an unconditionally secure key rate of 6.2931 x 10-4per pulse for a 25 km fiber length.

Abstract Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides means for unconditional secure key transmission between two distant parties. However, in practical implementations, it suffers from quantum hacking due to device imperfections. Here we propose a hybrid measurement attack, with only linear optics, homodyne detection and single photon detection, to the widely used vacuum + weak decoy state QKD system when the phase of source is partially randomized. Our analysis shows that, in some parameter regimes, the proposed attack would result in an entanglement breaking channel but still be able to trick the legitimate users to believe they have transmitted secure keys. That is, the eavesdropper is able to steal all the key information without discovered by the users. Thus, our proposal reveals that partial phase randomization is not sufficient to guarantee the security of phase-encoding QKD systems with weak coherent states.

Measurement device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) system is significant for exploring the future communication system because of its outstanding performance in security. In this paper, the key rate of single-photon source and WCP source with common wavelength under ideal infinite-decoy case is analyzed in order to outline the relationship between the key rate and the optimization of light intensity. The performance of the key rate under the simplest situation of finite decoy-state (two decoy-state) is compared. The result may provide important parameters for the practical application of QKD system.
