Abstract :
This work discuss an error rejection optical setup, using linear optical devices, and its use in the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol. In order to analyze the security, the Fuchs-Peres-Brandt attack is considered. We showed that the security is improved by the use of the rejection error protocol.
