We consider a strategic problem of the Evesdropping to quantum key distribution. Evesdropper hopes to obtain the maxium information given the disturbance to the qubits is often For this strategy, the optimized individual attack have been extensively constructed under various conditions. However, it seems a difficult task in the case of coherent attack, i.e., Eve may treat a number of intercepted qubits collectively, including the collective unitary transformations and the measurements. It was conjectured by Cirac and Gisin that no coherent attack can be more powerful for this strategy for BB84 protocol. In this paper we give a general conclusion on the role of coherent attacks for the strategy of maxmizing the information given the disturbance. Suppose in a quantum key distribution(QKD) protocol, all the transmitted bits from Alice are independent and only the individual disturbances to each qubits are examined by Alice and Bob. For this type of protocols(so far almost all QKD protocols belong to this type), in principle no coherent attack is more powerful than the product of optimized individual attack to each individual qubits. All coherent attacks to the above QKD protocols can be disregarded for the strategy above.
