ABSTRACT
Quantum key distribution (QKD) comprises technologies that use quantum mechanical effects to distribute private keys to distant partners. The goals of the present document are as follows:
- to make precise the nature of the security claim, including its statistical component;
- to list meaningful restrictions of adversarial action;
- to clarify the difference between security claim of a protocol (based on models) and the security claim of its implementation;
- to carefully list all the usual components of a QKD protocol with their critical characterizations.
