Hypergeometric distribution and the BB84 protocol

POSTER

Abstract

The security of the BB84 protocol relies on the receiver revealing a protion of bits to the emitter during the final stage of communication. We visually analyze factors that could improve the choice of the number of revealed photons, framed within the hypergeometric distribution theory relevant to the protocol.
