| Hacking the self-differencing avalanche detectors via pulse illumination | QCRYPT 2021 | Binwu Gao, Anqi Huang, Zhihao Wu, Yingwen Liu, Ping Xu, Junjie Wu |
Quantum key distribution (QKD) has been proved to be information-theoretically secure in theory. In practice, the self-differencing avalanche photodiode detectors (SD-APDs) are commonly used in high-speed QKD systems. However, we experimentally show that the SD- APD under test can be successfully hacked by the pulse-illumination attack. This attack might compromise the security of a high-speed QKD system with SD-APDs. This study also indicates that the best-practice criteria for practical security of SD-APDs might take the threat of pulse-illumination attack into account. |
