We successfully demonstrated a fully-managed, field-deployed, three-node QKD ring network with L1-OTNsec encryption, that employs a hybrid scheme of QKD and classical yet quantum-safe centrally-generated symmetric keys to support point-to-point and relay consumers.
We have successfully integrated an O-band commercial Quantum-Key-Distribution (QKD) system over a lit GPON testbed that replicates a carrier-grade Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) optical access network with multiple ONTs to emulate real-life FTTH operational deployments.
We experimentally evaluate the SKR generation for unoptimized QKD pairs in switched QKD and compare the performance of the switched-QKD with relayed-QKD networks to reveal they perform better for short distances and at large networks.
