Subject/title: Requirements and framework of quality of service assurance for integrated QKDN and non-quantum user network services
Status: Under study 
Approval process: AAP
Type of work item: Recommendation
Version: New
Equivalent number: -
Timing: 2024-07 (Medium priority)
Liaison: ITU-T SG12, SG17, ETSI ISG-QKD, IETF
Supporting members: ETRI, KT corp., KAIST, Korea Univ., and Korea (Rep. of), BUPT, Wuhan Rayton Network Technology
Summary: In order to support QKD service to IMT-2020 users including mobile objects (i.e., autonomous car, mobile phone, etc.), it is challenging to establish and maintain a quantum channel stably with them and supporting KSA-keys. TR-QKDN-nq addresses these issues and describes several use cases to deliver KSA-keys generated from QKD networks to the IMT-2020 user applications by means of modern cryptography (e.g., PKI technology) with PQC algorithms. It also identifies various issues to be addressed for standardization. One of them is an implication on the end-to-end QoS assurance. This draft Recommendation specifies use cases, architectural models, requirements and a framework architecture for an integrated control and management of QKDN and non-quantum user network (NQUN).
