Quantum key distribution node apparatus and method for quantum key distribution thereof
Abstract:
A quantum key distribution (QKD) node apparatus and a QKD method therein. The QKD node apparatus may include a QKD module for generating quantum keys and quantum key IDs, a quantum key synchronization management module for storing the quantum keys and the quantum key IDs as outbound and inbound quantum keys in a distributed manner and sharing the outbound and inbound quantum keys with a second QKD node apparatus, and a quantum key orchestration module for delivering a master key and a master key ID to a secure application connected therewith in response to a request for the master key with the ID of a second secure application and delivering a packet including the master key encrypted with the outbound quantum key shared with the second QKD node apparatus, the master key ID, and a quantum key ID, to the second QKD node apparatus.
