Descripción

This abstract describes a new scheme for Device Independent Quantum Key Distribution, a minimalist form of quantum cryptography in which no modeling is made about the internal working of the devices used. The scheme is appealing as it relies on single-photon sources, a new-generation technology whose development has boosted lately. When physical imperfections are taken into account, our scheme largely outperforms all previous proposals, opening in this manner a promising avenue for experimental DIQKD implementations. This abstract is suited for a talk at the Quantum Information symposium.
