Non-deterministic Two-Way Quantum Key Distribution using Coherent States

Abstract

We propose a non-deterministic two-way quantum key distribution in which the quantum correlation is established by transmitting the randomly polarized photon. We analyze the security of the proposed quantum key distribution against photon number splitting, impersonation, and Trojan horse attack and quantify the security bound against mean photon number of the coherent state pulse. Finally, we remark the characteristic features of the protocol.
