Description

The talk will present the latest experiences gained through the collaborative work in the GÉANT GN4-3 project on quantum key distribution (QKD). These activities such as evaluation of R&E use cases, the use of testbeds and simulators, and an upcoming long distance proof of concept to be run between two GEANT PoPs will be discussed. Activities were focused mainly on practical aspects and use cases implemented in real world scenarios and infrastructure. The GN4-3 project has been studying QKD technology, exploring testbeds, simulators, and facilitating discussion around R&E use cases that has led to several white papers and infoshares.
