Work item: Y.QKDNi_ccm
Subject/title: Quantum key distribution network interworking - Concatenating model
Status: Under study 
Approval process: AAP
Type of work item: Recommendation
Version: New
Equivalent number: -
Timing: Q4-2026 (Medium priority)
Liaison: ITU-T SG11, ITU-T SG17, JCA-QKDN, CQR(Co-located Quantum-Resistance), ETSI ISG-QKD, ETSI TC-CYBER QSC, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC27, ISO/IEC JTC3
Supporting members: Quantum key distribution network interworking - Concatenating model
Summary: Recommendation ITU-T Y.QKDNi_ccm "Quantum key distribution network interworking - Concatenating model" specifies functional architecture models for quantum key distribution network interworking (QKDNi) concatenating model. Recommendation ITU-T Y.3818 specifies detailed functional elements, basic operational procedures and architectural configurations for QKDNi between two QKDN providers. This Recommendation specifies additional functional elements, operational procedures and architectural configurations to support interworking among multiple (i.e. three and more) QKDN providers.
