Theater III
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a mature technology that, combined with state-of-the-art encryption solutions, can establish Quantum-Secured high-capacity communication channels. The coexistence and switching between the quantum and classical channels with high-speed optical-layer encryption provides a highly secure means of encrypting high-capacity network traffic. The panel includes two different network equipment manufacturers and two different QKD companies. Panelists will describe their perspectives, what they believe will come next, and the three solutions being demonstrated at OFCnet by ID Quantique/Ciena, ID Quantique/Nokia, and Toshiba/Ciena.
