Summary:
|
Recommendation ITU-T Q.4170 specifies protocols for cryptographic application registration in quantum key distribution networks (QKDNs). It specifies signalling procedures, signalling messages and associated parameters for the Ar, Ck, Mc and Mu interfaces based on the framework defined in Recommendation ITU-T Y.3839. Appendix I provides an example protocol implementation using a REST framework.
