We consider a key agreement setting where two parties observe correlated random sources, and want to agree on a secret key via public discussions. In order to allow the key length to adapt to the realizations of the random sources, we allow…

Users of quantum networks can securely communicate via so-called (quantum) conference key agreement --making their identities publicly known. In certain circumstances, however, communicating users demand anonymity. Here, we introduce a…

In this paper, the secret-key capacity is maximized by optimizing the downlink training sequence in a time division duplexing (TDD) massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) scenario. Both single-user and multiple user cases are…
