Description

Integrating a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Application Register within the Teraflow SDN controller aims to establish a dedicated registry for applications that utilize quantum keys for secure communication. This feature will enable a streamlined process for registering, managing, and deploying QKD applications, facilitating enhanced security measures across the network. The registry will act as a central repository for application credentials, key management, and configuration settings, ensuring efficient and secure application communication over the quantum network.

Demo or definition of done

• Successful deployment and registration of QKD applications within the Teraflow SDN environment.
• Verification of secure communication channels between registered applications using quantum keys.
• Comprehensive documentation detailing the registration process, configuration options, and security protocols.
