Abstract
We report on a realization of a fully automated 20 km quantum key distribut ion system incorporating real time error correction and privacy amplificati on protocols carried out via the Internet. Dedicated security analysis agai nst realistic attacks is used to optimize the system parameters in order to maximize the secrecy capacity for the communication over the 20 km distanc e.
