QKDlinkit
QKDlinkit is a software framework and reference implementation designed to facilitate the deployment of quantum key distribution (QKD) in modern communications networks. It provides an abstraction layer that bridges QKD hardware and traditional cryptographic software, enabling interoperable key exchange and streamlined integration with existing security infrastructures.
The architecture is modular, consisting of a hardware abstraction layer, a QKD protocol module, a key management
Key management covers the complete key lifecycle, from generation and distribution to storage, rotation, and revocation.
Status and impact: QKDlinkit is described in academic and industry literature as a promising approach to standardizing
