Title
|
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD); Protocol and data format of REST-based key delivery API
|
Scope and Field of Application
|
This work item will specify a REST (REpresentational State Transfer) API that allows application developers to make simple function calls to a QKD network to request cryptographic keys. It is intended to allow interoperability of equipment from different vendors. The QKD network may consist of a single QKD link or an extended network but it is beyond the scope of the document to describe how the underlying QKD network generates key material shared between nodes. URI formats, communication protocols (HTTPS), and the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data format encoding of posted parameters and responses (including key material) will be described.
