| Title |
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD); Design of QKD interfaces with Authentication |
||||||
|
Scope and Field of Application |
This work item will be a technical report on the design of classical interfaces for QKD systems that include authentication, including protocols used in discussion channels, auxiliary channels, management interfaces and key delivery interfaces. Assumptions on long-term or physical security will be discussed. Research on information-theoretic secure (e.g. Wegman Carter) and symmetric authentication for QKD discussion channels will be reviewed as well as the use of other cryptographic algorithms (including public key) to augment protocols. Standard principles, frameworks and analytical tools from the cryptographic domain will be considered. Design principles specific to authenticated QKD, including protection of authentication keys against denial of service attacks, will be discussed citing existing literature. | ||||||
