Alice can compare the hash result of her sent message with what Bob got out of it. If it is a mismatch, she wouldn't know, how much of difference there is.
Oct 28, 2019 at 12:34 comment added aschepler Hashing at what point? I'm not seeing how that could prevent a calculation of angle.
Oct 28, 2019 at 7:02 comment added Matzurai @aschepler Yes, you are right - hashing the message should fix it though.
Oct 26, 2019 at 16:45 comment added aschepler Wouldn't a misaligned filter result in results which correlate imperfectly to the original data, not independently random results? So if Alice sees that 80% of the bits returned match what she sent, she can calculate the approximate angle between the two polarizers.
