Furthermore, in spite of the fact that Discrete Variable QKD (DV-QKD) systems have reached a maturity level that allows their potential full realization and implementation for creation of a secure network backbone for key distribution in nations, in realistic links DV-QKD is really limited by technology and physical constraints associated with construction of reliable high rate single photon (or at least low photon count) sources, and of fast and reliable single photon detectors with very low dark count rates. In these cases, the use of Continuous Variable QKD (CV-QKD) schemes may be advantageous. For this reason the paper also discusses the problem of information reconciliation in CVQKD scenarios, showing that in long distance links the sign of the received Gaussian samples contains the largest fraction of information, leading to the design of an Unequal Error Protection (UEP) reverse reconciliation scheme.
