contents We find the maximum rate achievable in the private communication over a bosonic quantum channel with a fully Gaussian protocol based on optimal single-mode Gaussian measurements. This rate establishes a lower bound on the secret rate capacity of the channel. We focus on the class of phase-insensitive Gaussian channels. For the thermal-loss and thermal amplification channels, our results demonstrate the optimality, within the constraints of our analysis, of previously proposed protocols, while also providing a significantly simplified formula for their performance evaluation. For the added noise channel, our rate provides a better lower bound than any previously known.
