EACN Workshop 2021 | Deployment of QKD with commercial transport equipment (Helmut Grießer)

Deployment of QKD with commercial transport equipment

Future-proofing current fibre networks with quantum key distribution (QKD) is an attractive approach to combat the ever growing breaches of data theft. This talk is about enabling long-term security for high-speed data. We give an overview of the QKD used cases. Furthermore, we compare information theoretic security and long-term security. We report on the real world QKD developments, Enabling long-term security for high-speed data. As an example of a link where QKD is used, we report on the UK regional network (the Cambridge quantum network).
