Abstract :
We consider a practical implementation of decoy state protocol with a two way Quantum Key Distribution protocol using the Weak+Vacuum decoy state scheme. The result from numerical simulation was very encouraging given that the maximum secure distance was very close to the case of maximum theoretical limit using infinite decoy state.
