Abstract

Abstract:

With the continuous development of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology, ensuring the determinism and security of the network has become a focal point in the industry. The emergence of quantum secure communication technology offers a new opportunity for enhancing the security of TSN. First, this paper introduces the significance and advantages of integrating TSN technology with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) networks. Then, it proposes secure communication schemes based on QKD technology, specifically addressing the security protection of time-sensitive service information, synchronization information, and control information within TSN.

Key words: quantum security, TSN, QKD

CLC Number:

TN918
