The integration of QKD technology for 6G deployments facilitates advanced protection against attacks on critical infrastructures. We detail and demonstrate the Key Management and Control Layer operations of a Free Space Optics-based QKD link for network access. We detail the architectural steps to ensure key delivery and relay functions, showcasing their implementation.
As we enter the B5G/6G era, the converged Access and Metro segments are facing multi-faceted challenges including the heterogeneity of technologies, an unprecedented density and scale for the interconnection patterns, dynamic traffic profiles, and the inefficiency associated with the overprovisioning of dedicated connectivity resources. Here we present a generic, yet comprehensive, architecture that addresses these challenges
This paper reports on the design, implementation, and validation of an SDN control plane for multi-band optical networks with externalized path computation. The SDN control plane relies on extending current open and standard interfaces to support dynamic service management and decoupled path computation services on multi-band optical networks while accounting for physical layer impairments, which is critical for successful service provisioning.
