Most current implementations of quantum key distribution (QKD) are point-to-point systems with one sender transmitting to only one receiver. Development of these single-receiver systems has now reached a comparatively advanced stage. However, many communication systems operate in a point-to- multi-point (multiple-receiver) configuration rather than in point-to-point mode so it is crucial to demonstrate compatibility with this type of network in order to maximize the application range for QKD. In this paper, we suggest a proposed architecture of Point-to-Multipoint QKD (QKDP2MP) Systems and bow it will present in terms of QBB and Quantum layered Architecture.
