摘要: 量子密钥分发可以为信息通信提供长期的安全性和保密性。鉴于量子密钥分发网络的高成本和复杂性,量子密钥分发即服务成为未来量子密钥分发网络的有效运营模式之一,可以实现全网用户通过申请量子密钥分发服务共享量子密钥分发网络基础设施。本文引入软件定义网络技术来提供高效灵活的量子密钥分发服务,介绍了软件定义量子密钥分发即服务的体系框架和演示平台,演示了量子密钥分发服务提供流程。

Abstract: Quantumkey distribution(QKD)can provide long-term security and confidentiality for information andcommunications.Given the high cost and complexity of QKD networks, QKD as a service becomes one of the effective operation patterns for futureQKDnetworks, which allows the network-wide users to share theQKDnetwork infrastructure by applying for QKD services. This paper uses the software defined networking (SDN) technique to provide efficient and flexible QKD services. The framework and demonstration platform for software defined QKD as a service are introduced, and the QKD service provisioning workflow is demonstrated.
