Quantum key generation rate of decoy state quantum key distribution (QKD) with a heralded single-photon source (HSPS) is deduced. Relationship between quantum key generation rate and detection efficiency of sender is discussed. Optimal intensities and key generation rate of decoy state QKD with a weak coherent pulse (WCP) and an HSPS are analyzed. It shows that key generation rate increases with increase of detection efficiency of sender and its security distance is the same as with a perfect single photon source. Decoy state QKD increases security distance and key rate of QKD. Due to less dark counts QKD with HSPS works longer distance than WCP.
