19. For instance, it is sometimes said that in the BB84 protocol half of the symbols in the raw key are rejected after the sifting process. Although this is correct if one considers the original proposal, it is clear that Alice and Bob can employ just one of the basis for information encoding, and use it almost all the time, and occasionally change to the second basis to monitor the channel. Then, the sifted key length can, asymptotically, be as close as desired to the raw key, without compromising the security. See H.-K. Lo, H. F. Chau, and M. Ardehali, e-print quant-ph/0011056.
