Statistical Analysis and Optimization of the MFA Protecting Private Keys

In the current information age, asymmetrical cryptography is widely used to protect information and financial transactions such as cryptocurrencies. The loss of private keys can have catastrophic consequences; therefore, effective MFA schemes are needed. In this paper, we focus on generating...

Eve'S Forgery Probability from Her False Acceptance Probability: Interactive Authentication, Holevo Information and the Min-Entropy

We obtain estimates for Eve's forgery probability, namely the probability that she is able to forge a message which Alice or Bob mistakenly accept over a noisy Quantum channel for generating a shared Quantum secret key. This probability is related to Eve's success probability obtained in a previo...
