Abstract: It is known that the security evaluation can be done by smoothing of R'{e}nyi entropy of order 2 in the classical and quantum settings when we apply universal${}_2$ hash functions. Using the smoothing of Renyi entropy of order 2, we derive security bounds for $L_1$ distinguishability and modified mutual information criterion under the classical and quantum setting, and have derived these exponential decreasing rates. These results are extended to the case when we apply $varepsilon$-almost dual universal${}_2$ hash functions. Further, we apply this analysis to the secret key generation with error correction.
