| Title |
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD); Device and Communication Channel Parameters for QKD Deployment QKD Deployment |
||||||
|
Scope and Field of Application |
This WI will provide a standardized description of the important characteristics of QKD devices and of the required communication channels in the context of QKD deployment on a point-to-point link. The goal will be to provide a comprehensive set of information with several objectives: > Facilitate QKD field implementations > Formulate the requirements on QKD devices and communication channels in the context of QKD deployment > High-level comparison of heterogeneous QKD technologies The WI document will tackle the following items: > Characterization of QKD Communication Systems Performance and “Footprint” - Communications interfaces, channel allocation - Quantum channel parameters (optical parameters, rate) - Classical channel parameters (optical parameters, rate) - Performance (security definition, security parameters, key rate, key latency, raw key) - Laser safety, size of device, power requirements, rack-ability > Characterization of the QKD-based requirements on the parameters of the transmission link - Quantum channel requirements: attenuation vs. wavelength, tolerable dispersion - Classical channel : rate requirements, latency requirements, stability requirements - Tolerance to external noise sources |
