← ScienceWhich security risk arises when implementing quantum key distribution (QKD) based on entangled photons?
A)Man-in-the-middle eavesdropping vulnerability
B)Repeater compromise enabling information leakage✓
C)Photon degradation increases error rate
D)Temperature fluctuations disrupt photon polarization
💡 Explanation
Leakage occurs because repeaters boost signal range by performing measurements and re-encoding states. The measurement breaks the quantum entanglement, therefore allowing information leakage at the repeater node rather than securing it completely.
