In recent years, the need for secure data communication has increased. Here, quantum key distribution (QKD) offers fundamental advantages over classical key distribution. Despite its high level of security, QKD comes a long with numerous challenges regarding the application of single photons. In this view, the decoy state protocol offers the possibility to implement QKD using classical light sources such as semiconductor lasers. In this contribution we present the newest results of our approach for the realization of a monolithic 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) array capable for QKD via the BB84 and decoy state protocol.
