Trusted Node QKD at an Electrical Utility
arXiv:2103.09877 · doi:10.1109/ACCESS.2021.3070222
Abstract
Challenges facing the deployment of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems in critical infrastructure protection applications include the optical loss-key rate tradeoff, addition of network clients, and interoperability of vendor-specific QKD hardware. Here, we address these challenges and present results from a recent field demonstration of three QKD systems on a real-world electric utility optical fiber network.
