Software-Defined Quantum Network Using a QKD-Secured SDN Controller and Encrypted Messages
R. S. Tessinari, Robert I. Woodward, A. J. Shields · 2023
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.
