It is unbreakable in principle, but its real implementations have vulnerabilities arising from equipment imperfections. Certification standards [1] and accredited labs are being\r\nestablished that can test commercial products for these flaws. I explain how we have analysed a commercial quantum key distribution system for loopholes, patched them, and designed tests for the certification lab [2].","description":"[1] ISO/IEC 23837-2:2023(en) international standard.\r\n[2] V.
