Abstract

QKD networks are costly infrastructures. This paper introduces the concept of time-sharing of QKD resources, namely receivers, transmitters and quantum links. A number of strategies for resource sharing in QKD are described. The approach is valid for any point-to-point QKD system that implements end-to-end key exchange via one-time-pad-based trusted relay. A quick modelling and analysis of one of these strategies on a sample network proves the potential for QKD CAPEX saving. Coordinated smart scheduling of slices via SDN controllers is required.
