ITU-T X.1713 PDF

This Recommendation is part of a series of ITU-T Recommendations on security requirements for quantum key distribution networks (QKDNs). This Recommendation describes the security requirements for quantum key distribution (QKD) nodes from the following perspectives:

– Security threats to QKD nodes in a QKD network;

– Security requirements for QKD nodes in a QKD network; and

– Typical configuration of security measures for a QKD node.

NOTE – A QKD node is considered to be a trusted node, and the scope of trusted nodes is aligned to [ITU-T X.1710].
