Comment on "Scheme of the arrangement for attack on the protocol BB84"

Jonte R. Hance, JG Rarity

In a recent paper (Scheme of the arrangement for attack on the protocol BB84, Optik 127(18):7083-7087, Sept 2016), a protocol was proposed for using weak measurement to attack BB84. This claimed the four basis states typically used could be perfectly discriminated, and so an interceptor could obtain all information carried. We show this attack fails when considered using standard quantum mechanics, as expected - such ``single-shot' quantum state discrimination is impossible, even using weak measurement.

Quantum scheme for an optimal attack on quantum key distribution protocol BB84

Dmitry Anatolevich Kronberg, S. N. Molotkov

A quantum scheme for an optimal attack on protocol BB84, the most studied protocol of quantum cryptography, is constructed. The physical implementation of this scheme on the basis of linear fiber-optical elements and the two-particle “controlled NOT” quantum transformation is proposed.
