Public Release: Postselection technique for optical Quantum Key Distribution with improved de Finetti reductions

This is a public release of the code used in Postselection technique for optical Quantum Key Distribution with improved de Finetti reductions [arXiv]. This was built for v2.0.1 of the Open QKD Security package.

This is the code (and data) required to generate the plot shown in Fig. 2 of the paper, demonstrating the performance of the postselection technique for the three-state protocol.
