New Result in Quantum Cryptography
Abstract
In the entangled translucent eavesdropping scenario of key generation in quantum cryptography, I demonstrate that the unsafe error rate based on standard mutual information comparisons is equivalent to the maximum allowable error rate based on perfect mutual information for the eavesdropper. In this case, the unsafe error rate is not in fact overly conservative, as is commonly supposed.
