DISCRETION
Integrate and combine SDN with QKD to build a highly secure network architecture
Project name
DISCRETION
Program project number
EDIDP-CSAMN-SDN-2020-74-DISCRETION
Description
DISCRETION has as its main goal to integrate and combine Software Defined Networks (SDN) with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) to build a network architecture that is highly secure, scalable, resilient, and robust to support defense tactical, operational, and strategic communications. Compared to traditional approaches, SDN brings flexibility to the networks, enabling the integration of potentially disruptive approaches like Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and quantum technologies in general. This technology will be developed in the consortium and allow European Defence to obtain a certain autonomy compared to other countries like China and USA.
