Making existing quantum position verification protocols secure against arbitrary transmission loss (2023)
Introduces an extra commitment step into QPV and shows that for a class of protocols, involving $f$-BB84 QPV, this makes the transmission loss irrelevant for security. Argues $f$-BB84 is a practical QPV protocol.

Continuous-variable quantum position verification secure against entangled attackers (2024) arxiv.org
Generalises $f$-BB84 QPV to continuous-variable inputs and shows analogous security statements as for finite-dimensional inputs.

Loss-tolerant position-based quantum cryptography (2015) doi.org
Generalises BB84 QPV to more input bases and notes better loss tolerance properties because of it. Also discusses using decoy states and continuous variables for BB84 QPV.

Quantum position verification in bounded-attack-frequency model (2016) doi.org
Considers BB84 QPV with non-simultaneous arrival times of input information at the prover (the basis being encoded in which side arrived first). Discusses the general port-based attack in this setting.

On the role of quantum communication and loss in attacks on quantum position verification (2022) arxiv.org
Shows that any QPV protocol that can be broken unentangled with quantum communication, but is secure against classical communication attacks, can be transformed into one that is secure against quantum communication attacks. Also notes that if the signal loss is high enough any…
