We analyze the set of two-qubit states from which a secret key can be extracted by single-copy measurements plus classical processing of the outcomes. We introduce a key distillation protocol and give the corresponding necessary and sufficient condition for positive key extraction. Our results imply that the critical error rate derived by Chau, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 66}, 060302 (2002), for a secure key distribution using the six-state scheme is tight. Remarkably, an optimal eavesdropping attack against this protocol does not require any coherent quantum operation.

Security of deterministic key distribution with higher-dimensional systems
Higher-dimensional two-way QKD protocols using mutually unbiased bases and Heisenberg-Weyl operators yield secret keys for stronger individual attacks and improved robustness to collective eavesdropping via entropic u...
