Abstract: Practical realizations of quantum key distribution employ dim coherent states as an approximation to single photon states. The advantage is that dim coherent states are convenient to use. The draw-back is that the security proofs for quantum key distribution have to be adapted. Difficulties arising from the use of signal states containing multi-photon contributions in combination with lossy channels have been pointed out earlier by Huttner et al.. In this paper I describe a first numerical... (Update)
