==Outline== A DIQKD protocol is composed by the following steps: * The first phase of the protocol is called distribution. For each round of this phase: ** Alice uses the source to prepare a maximally entangled state and send half of the state to Bob. ** Upon receiving the state, Bob announces that he received it, and they both use their respective devices to measure the quantum systems. They record their output in a string of bits. * The second phase is when Alice and Bob publicly exchange classical information in order to perform [[error correction]], where they correct their strings generating the raw keys, and [[parameter estimation]], where they estimate the parameters of interest. At the end of this phase Alice and Bob are supposed to share the same <math>n</math>-bit string and have an estimate of how much knowledge an eavesdropper might have about their raw key. * In the final phase, Alice and Bob perform [[privacy amplification]], where the not fully secure <math>n</math>-bit strings are mapped into smaller strings <math>K_A</math> and <math>K_B</math>, which represents the final keys of Alice and Bob respectively.
