Abstract
Removing trustworthiness from the devices is the motivation towards device independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD). The only assumption in this case is that the devices obey the laws of quantum mechanics and are spatially isolated from each other. The security of the protocol can be achieved by certain tests based on various statistical analysis. Recently, Vidick and Vazirani (VV) proposed a DI-QKD scheme (Phys. Rev. Lett., 2014) exploiting the CHSH game. In a similar direction, here we present a simple proposal that exploits the idea of multi-party pseudo-telepathy game to certify device independent security. The relative advantages of our protocol are also discussed.
