Abstract
The data transmission protocol using strongly correlated twin laser beams is proposed. The properties of the laser beam states are described in detail. The protocol is based on the strong correlation of photon numbers in both beams in each measurement. The protocol stability against eavesdropping attacks is analyzed.
