Modeling, Simulation, and Performance Analysis of Decoy State Enabled Quantum Key Distribution Systems

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems exploit the laws of quantum mechanics to generate secure keying material for cryptographic purposes. To date, several commercially viable decoy state enabled QKD systems have been successfully demonstrated and show promise for high-security applications such as...
