| Title |
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD); Protocol and data format of REST-based Interoperable Key Management System API Interoperable KMS API |
||||||
|
Scope and Field of Application |
This present document specifes a REST API that allows key management systems to interoperate to pass keys horizontally between two systems located in a common trusted node. The API enables QKD networks to serve applications that request shared secret keys from key management systems that are not linked by a contiguous chain of systems from the same vendor. It is beyond the scope of the present document to describe how the underlying QKD network agrees key material between nodes. URI formats, communication protocols (HTTPS), and the JSON data format encoding of posted parameters and responses (including key material) are described. An OpenAPI description of the API is included. | ||||||
