ITU-T Y.3804 (04/2025)

Quantum key distribution networks – Control and management

To realize secure, stable, efficient, and robust operations of and services by a quantum key distribution (QKD) network as well as to manage a QKD network (QKDN) as a whole and support user network management, Recommendation ITU-T Y.3804 specifies functions and procedures for QKDN control and management based on the requirements specified in Recommendation ITU-T Y.3801.
This revision of the Recommendation adds the description of reference point Mx and the management procedures in Subscription-Notification information exchange.
