Quantum key distribution promises information-theoretically secure communication, with data post-processing playing a vital role in extracting secure keys from raw data. While hardware advancements have significantly improved practical implementations, optimizing post-processing techniques offers a cost-effective avenue to enhance performance. Advantage distillation, which extends beyond standard information reconciliation and privacy amplification, has proven instrumental in various post-processing methods. However, the optimal post-processing remains an open question. Therefore, it is important to develop a comprehensive framework to encapsulate and enhance these existing methods. In this work, we propose an advantage distillation framework for quantum key distribution, generalizing and unifying existing key distillation protocols. Inspired by entanglement distillation, our framework not only integrates current techniques but also improves upon them. Notably, by employing classical linear codes, we achieve higher key rates, particularly in scenarios where one-time pad encryption is not used for post-processing. Our approach provides insights into existing protocols and offers a systematic way for further enhancements in quantum key distribution.
