Experimental Eavesdropping Attack against Ekert's Protocol based on Wigner's Inequality

arXiv:quant-ph/0308030 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.68.034309

Abstract

We experimentally implemented an eavesdropping attack against the Ekert protocol for quantum key distribution based on the Wigner inequality. We demonstrate a serious lack of security of this protocol when the eavesdropper gains total control of the source. In addition we tested a modified Wigner inequality which should guarantee a secure quantum key distribution.
