Summary - Y.3828 (04/2025) - Integration of quantum key distribution network and user network supporting end-to-end modern cryptography services – Requirements for quality of service assurance

It is challenging to integrate a quantum key distribution network (QKDN) and a user network to support end-to-end modern cryptography services for users including mobile objects (i.e., autonomous car, mobile phone, etc.). One of the main challenges is an implication on the end-to-end quality of service assurance. To address this issue, Recommendation ITU-T Y.3828 specifies architectural reference models and high-level and functional requirements for quality of service (QoS) assurance for integrated QKDN and user network supporting end-to-end modern cryptography (UNemc) services.
