Device Independent Quantum Key Distribution (DIKQD) aims at generating secret keys between distant parties without the trusting their devices. We investigate a proposal for performing fully photonic DIQKD, based on single-photon sources and heralding measurements central station placed two parties. derive conditions to attain non-zero secret-key rates in terms of photon efficiency, indistinguishability second order autocorrelation function sources. Exploiting new results security bound such protocols allows us reduce requirements physical parameters setup. Our analysis shows that considered schemes, key several hundreds bits per are within reach distances tens kilometers.
