Prevention of Side-Channel Attacks in Timebin-Entanglement Based QKD Protocols — •Alexander Sauer and Gernot Alber — Institut für Angewandte Physik, Technische Universität Darmstadt

Bell tests are a crucial part of many key distribution protocols in quantum cryptography. To prevent side-channel attacks, it is necessary to close all loopholes in these tests, which might be exploited by an adversary. We investigate schemes based on timebin-entanglement with respect to their vulnerability to the fair-sampling loophole and the impact of detector inefficiencies. We propose a modified experimental setup to overcome the arising limitations of Franson-type interferometers [1].
