A Reconciliation Strategy for Real-time Satellite-based QKD

In practical Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) deployments we would like to design QKD solutions that provide for a target QKD key rate, in bits/pulse, at a specified upper-limit on the failure probability. However, in the finite-signalling setting, in which all real-world QKD systems exist, the common practice of achieving such a solution fails to deliver the maximum throughput rate of the classical...
