%0 Journal Article %T Non-secret correlations can be used to distribute secrecy %A Joonwoo Bae %A Toby Cubitt %A Antonio Acin %J Physics %D 2008 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevA.79.032304 %X A counter-intuitive result in entanglement theory was shown in [PRL 91 037902 (2003)], namely that entanglement can be distributed by sending a separable state through a quantum channel. In this work, following an analogy between the entanglement and secret key distillation scenarios, we derive its classical analog: secrecy can be distributed by sending non-secret correlations through a private channel. This strengthens the close relation between entanglement and secrecy. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0806.1606v1
