Software-defined quantum network using a QKD-secured SDN controller and encrypted messages

arXiv:2305.12893

Abstract

We propose and implement a software-defined network architecture that integrates the QKD SDN Controller within the QKD node, enabling it to use quantum keys to secure its communication with SDN agents while optimizing QKD-keys consumption.
