Quantum cryptography based on qutrit Bell inequalities

We present a cryptographic protocol based upon entangled qutrit pairs. We analyze the scheme under a symmetric incoherent attack and plot the region for which the protocol is secure and compare this with the region of violations of certain Bell inequalities.
