QKD Architecture - Quantum Layer

What is the architecture of QKD system? It is a communication between two parties (Alice and Bob) including both classical channel and quantum channel and the goal of this communication between these two parties is to exchange secret keys, symmetric keys in order to be used for symmetric encryption. This presentation focuses on Quantum channel and it was used during the HellasQCI Training Event in Crete 2024 - Axis 1 EuroQCI Deployments & Cooperation (04/09/2024).

Abstract

What is the architecture of QKD system? It is a communication between two parties (Alice and Bob) including both classical channel and quantum channel and the goal of this communication between these two parties is to exchange secret keys, symmetric keys in order to be used for symmetric encryption. This presentation focuses on Quantum channel and it was used during the HellasQCI Training Event in Crete 2024 - Axis 1 EuroQCI Deployments & Cooperation (04/09/2024).
