A simpler security proof for 6-state quantum key distribution
Six-state Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) achieves the highest key rate in the class of qubit-based QKD schemes. The standard security proof, which has been developed since 2005, invokes complicated theorems involving smooth R\'{e}nyi entropies. In this paper we present a simpler security proof for 6-state QKD that entirely avoids R\'{e}nyi entropies. This is achieved by applying state smoothing directly in the Bell basis. We obtain the well known asymptotic rate, but with slightly more favorable finite-size terms. We furthermore show that the same proof technique can be used for 6-state quantum key recycling.
