In this work, we study timestamps when registering counts of single-photon detectors in quantum communications. Post-pulse counts are analyzed based on several approaches. Explicit statistical accounting of the noise of quantum detectors allows you to most correctly select the mode of use of the detectors to realize the most efficient quantum communication with the highest signal to noise ratio. Direct statistical analysis and robust diagnostics of the noise of quantum detectors can be done by ranging the time's tags of quantum keys that are available for the online diagnostic system and analysis a significant amount of information about the quantum communication performance (the amount of dark noise and post-pulse counts, line interference, etc.). The conclusion is made about the proportion of dark noise and post-pulse counts in the total noise, and the limits of applicability of the theory are shown using a sequence of the ranged amplitudes. We offer non-parametric robust diagnostic of times tags in keys to increase the security of quantum networks, and also discuss the prospects of commercializing quantum-classical cloud-based security services.
