| Security evaluation of the transmitted quantum states of a commercial QKD system operated in test sequence (TS) mode | QCRYPT 2024 | Christian Daniel Munoz, Benjamin White, Gianluca Boso, Benjamin Strudwick |
This work reports on the implementation of a test sequence mode in a commercial QKD system, the methods and instrumentation designed to characterize the quantum states transmitted by such a system in TS mode, and the results obtained. These results are the first reported on a commercial QKD system operated in such a mode. |

In security applications, it is necessary to use random numbers with the highest possible entropy. Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) are most suitable for creating such numbers due to the non-deterministic nature of quantum physics. In this work we present the different steps of the construction of a new design for a high-speed QRNG. Furthermore, in order to make our QRNG suitable for use in security applications, we explain the steps we are taking to make it conform to security standards. Such standards exist and define guidelines for the design of classical Random Number Generators. However, for QRNG, it is necessary to make adaptations, which requires additional work in its design, realization and evaluation with respect to security standards. |
