One of the crucial problems in QKD is to guarantee its security with finite-key lengths by Privacy Amplification (PA). However, finite-key analyses show a trade-off between the security of BB84 and the secure key rates. This study analyses two examples to show concrete trade-offs. Furthermore, even though the QKD keys have been perceived to be arbitrarily secure, this study shows a fundamental limitation in the security of the keys by connecting Leftover Hash Lemma and Guessing Secrecy on the QKD keys.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Fundamental limit and trade-off between security and secure key generation rate in quantum key distribution}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/110246/PDF/art_12.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mms.2019.126333}, keywords={Quantum Key Distribution, Quantum Cryptography, Privacy Amplification, Leftover Hash Lemma}, }
