Overview of Quantum Key Distribution Technique within IPsec Architecture (2112.13105v1)
Published 24 Dec 2021 in cs.CR and quant-ph
Abstract: Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is an approach for establishing symmetrical binary keys between distant users in an information-theoretically secure way. In this paper we provide an overview of existing solutions that integrate QKD within the most popular architecture for establishing secure communications in modern IP (Internet Protocol) networks - IPsec (Internet Protocol security). The provided overview can be used to further design the integration of QKD within the IPsec architecture striving for a standardized solution.
