QKD and key management at KEEQuant — •Ulrich Eismann, Emanuel Eichhammer, Emmeran Sollner, Martin Hauer, Oliver Maurhart, and Imran Khan — KEEQuant GmbH, Gebhardtstr. 28, 90762 Fürth, Germany

In the advent of the quantum computer threat, we aim to make QKD a commodity by relying on standard telecom components, integrated photonics and electronics. This makes QKD invisible for the end user, and hence commercially viable.

We present our first QKD product and its the fitting into existing telecommunication networks. One layer above the physical layer of such networks, keys need to be handled using key management systems (KMS) and we will discuss the interplay between QKD, KMS and the application layer.
