Editing Quantum Oblivious Transfer (section)

===Preparation phase===

The protocol is adjusted to the physical limitations of the receiver's detection apparatus.

The receiver conveys to the sender the experimental imperfections of his detectors i.e. the quantum efficiency and dark count rate.

The sender conveys the intensity of the light pulses she will use which conveys the information about the fraction of sender's pulses that will be detected successfully by the receiver, and the bit error rate she will be willing to correct in his data to compensate for his dark counts and other noise sources in the detector.

The sender and receiver agree on the security parameter of the OT protocol and on the linear binary error-correcting code.

Finally, they perform a test run to verify that the receiver indeed detects the sender pulses with the said probability and error rate.
