Abstract

I will primarily discuss the paper "Fully Device Independent Quantum Key Distribution" by Vazirani and Vidick. The idea is to prove the security of quantum key distribution based only on the validity of quantum mechanics. Previous work on DIQKD assumed no presence of noise, or independent uses of the devices involved. In this paper, Vazirani and Vidick prove security of DIQKD even in the presence of a constant amount of noise. The only assumptions made in the paper are spatial isolation of the devices the two parties (Alice and Bob) use, and that Alice, Bob and Eve (adversary) are all bound by the laws of quantum mechanics.
