41. So far, the only deterministic protocol unconditionally secure is a simple variant of the BB84 protocol, as described in M. Lucamarini, J. S. Shaari, and M. R. B. Wahiddin, e-print arXiv:quant-ph/0707.3913.

55. To be precise, one should encode the parities using a stream cipher like the one-time pad in order to decouple the procedures of error correction and privacy amplification completely [H.-K. Lo, New J. Phys. NJOPFM 1367-2630 10.1088/1367-2630/5/1/336 5, 36 (2003)].
