1305.5744 (Li Yang et al.)

Dissipation attack on Bennett-Brassard 1984 protocol in practical
quantum key distribution system
   [PDF]

Li Yang, Bing Zhu
We propose a new kind of individual attack, based on randomly selected dissipation, on Bennett-Brassard 1984 protocol of practical quantum key distribution (QKD) system with lossy and noisy quantum channel. Since an adversary with super quantum channel can disguise loss and errors induced by his attack as that of the system, he can obtain innegligible amount of information for a practical QKD system, without being detected by legal participants.
