The eavesdrop-detecting channel as reviewed in the paper is simplified, omitting the error correction procedure and replacing the check sums by random subset parities.

19. The quantum Vernam cipher randomizes the quantum plain-text in two conjugate bases. The scheme in Ref. 17 randomizes the quantum plain-text in one basis, and does not conceal it completely.
