The quantum key distribution (QKD) system with two-mode squeezed states has been demonstrated by Pereira et al. [Phys. Rev. A 62, 042311 (2000)]. They evaluate the security of the system based on the signal to noise ratio attained by a homodyne detector. In this paper, we discuss its security based on the error probability individually attacked by eavesdropper with the unambiguous or the error optimum detection. The influence of the energy loss at transmission channels is also taken into account. It will be shown that the QKD system is secure under these conditions.
