文摘A kind of attack strategy based on a probabilistic cloning machine is proposed in this letter. The security of BB84 and the six-state quantum key distribution protocols under this attack is studied by theoretic analyses and corroborated by simulations. It is concluded that the quantum key distribution protocols still have an asymptotic perfect security even if the eavesdropper adopts the proposed attack strategy.
