Using Holevo bound for leakage estimation in quantum key distribution
It is shown that general post-selective soft-filtering transformations of side-channel states can be consistently incorporated into the GLLP and Koashi framework, and a Holevo-based upper bound on the eavesdropper's information for decoy-state BB84 is derived.
