MDI-QKD explained: quantum security without trusting the node

Measurement-device-independent QKD removes the detector as a point of trust. We break down how it works and why it matters.

Measurement-device-independent QKD closes the detector side-channel that undermines conventional QKD, so you no longer have to trust the measuring node.
