GPR-6126 Utilizing ML techniques for a Quantum Augmented HTTP Protocol

Over the past decade, several small-scale quantum key distribution (QKD) networks have been implemented worldwide. However, achieving scalable, large-scale quantum networks relies on advancements in quantum repeaters, channels, memories, and network protocols. To enhance the security of current networks while utilizing available quantum technologies, integrating classical networks with quantum elements appears to be the next logical step. In this study, we propose modifications to the HTTP protocol's data packet structure, adjustments to end-to-end encryption methods, and optimized bandwidth distribution between quantum and classical channels for high-traffic network routes.
