Device-independent protocols are based on the quantum phenomena of non-locality and the violation of Bell inequalities. This high level of security could so far only be established under conditions which are not achievable experimentally. Here we present a property of entropy, termed "entropy accumulation", which asserts that the total amount of entropy of a large system is the sum of its parts. We use this property to prove the security of cryptographic protocols, including device-independent quantum key distribution, while achieving essentially optimal parameters. Recent experimental progress, which enabled loophole-free Bell tests, suggests that the achieved parameters are technologically accessible. Our work hence provides the theoretical groundwork for experimental demonstrations of device-independent cryptography. © 2018 The Author(s). | Source Title: | Nature Communications | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/178461 | ISSN: | 2041-1723 | DOI: | 10.1038/s41467-017-02307-4 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
