| Background and Objectives: Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) ensures secure communication through quantum mechanics, but real-world implementations face vulnerabilities from detector blinding, time-shift, and side-channel attacks. While Measurement-Device-Independent QKD (MDI-QKD) mitigates detector vulnerabilities, it lacks real-time attack monitoring and struggles with finite-key limitations. This study presents an MDI ack QKD protocol that integrates deterministic acknowledgment pulses and multi-intensity decoy states to achieve robust, device-independent security with real-time attack detection. Methods: The proposed protocol combines MDI-QKD’s device-independent framework with interleaved deterministic acknowledgment pulses and four-level decoy intensities. Alice and Bob generate weak coherent pulses with randomized phases, embedding acknowledgment pulses with probability ( Pd = 0.1 ) to probe channel integrity. An untrusted relay performs Bell-state measurements using superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). Multi-intensity decoy statistics enable finite-key parameter estimation, while integrated photonic platforms ensure scalability. Security is analyzed using the universally composable framework, with simulations and preliminary experiments conducted over metropolitan fiber distances. Results: Numerical simulations demonstrate secure key rates exceeding 10 Mbps at 50 km and ~1 Mbps at 100 km under realistic conditions (0.2 dB/km fiber loss, 85% detector efficiency, 1 GHz pulse rate). Experimental tests on an integrated photonic chip at 1550 nm achieved raw key rates of 1.1 Mbps at 50 km with decoy accuracy within ±7%. Deterministic acknowledgments detected blinding attacks with high sensitivity, and multi-intensity decoys provided tight finite-key bounds, maintaining composable security against collective and coherent attacks. Conclusion: The MDI ack QKD protocol achieves high-rate, device-independent quantum key distribution with real-time attack monitoring, offering a scalable solution for metropolitan quantum networks. Its compatibility with integrated photonics enables compact, stable implementations, while deterministic acknowledgments and multi-intensity decoys ensure robust security against evolving threats. This approach paves the way for practical, unconditionally secure communication systems, with potential for satellite-ground and multi-node network extensions. | ||
