| contents | Device Independent Quantum Key Distribution (DIKQD) aims at generating secret keys between distant parties without the parties trusting their devices. We investigate a proposal for performing fully photonic DIQKD, based on single-photon sources and heralding measurements at a central station placed between the two parties. We derive conditions to attain non-zero secret-key rates in terms of the the photon efficiency, indistinguishability and the second order autocorrelation function of the single-photon sources. Exploiting new results on the security bound of such protocols allows us to reduce the requirements on the physical parameters of the setup. Our analysis shows that in the considered schemes, key rates of several hundreds of secret bits per second are within reach at distances of several tens of kilometers. |
