Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Continuous-variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD) uses homodyne/heterodyne measurement, which is technologically matured and widely used. Compared to a conventional discrete-variable (DV) QKD, it has lower implementation cost and affinity to wavelength division multiplexing. On the other hand, its continuous nature makes it harder to accommodate to practical signal processing, which is always discretized, and complete security proof has not been established so far in contrast to DV QKD protocols. Here, we propose a method of estimating fidelity of a measured pulse to a coherent state via heterodyne measurement. This estimation method is tight and robust for weak signal pulses such as those used in QKD, and applicable to the digitized signal processing. We then construct a binary-phase-modulated CV-QKD protocol and prove its security against general attacks, based on a proof techniques of DV QKD. Such a complete security proof is the first step towards exploiting the benefits of CV QKD while ensuring its security.
