Abstract :
A practical implementation of a two way Quantum Key Distribution protocol namely the LM05 protocol with the Weak+Vacuum decoy state protocol having the double photon gain excluded from the final secure key rate calculation is reconsidered. The numerical analysis result has shown that the performance was better than the case when single and double photon gain was lumped.
