Abstract

The feasibility and technology requirements of geostationary (GEO) satellite-to-ground free space quantum key distribution (QKD) are investigated. The losses budget and bit rates of the system show that GEO satellite-to-ground QKD is feasible and a globe secure QKD network can be set up through this system.
