Secure communication makes the widespread use of telecommunication networks and
services possible. With the constant progress of computing and mathematics, new …

A QKD network can be considered an add-on technology to a standard communication
network that provides IT-secure cryptographic keys as a service. As a result, security …

Network connectivity exposes the network infrastructure and assets to vulnerabilities that
attackers can exploit. Protecting network assets against attacks requires the application of …

Network emulators play an important role in testing network systems, applications, and
protocols. Emulators bridge the gap between simulation setups that lack realism in results …

For information that requires long-term confidentiality (eg national security, military security,
genomic data etc.), the threat of eavesdropping must be seriously considered. The leakage …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a secure communication technique which uses quantum
mechanics to protect communications. To overcome large distances, it requires the use of …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a technology that can resist the threat of quantum
computers to existing conventional cryptographic protocols. However, due to the stringent …

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), a novel secret key agreement primitive, enables long-
awaited practical Information-Theoretical Security (ITS). Over the last two decades …

Anonymous communication networks (ACNs) enable Internet browsing in a way that
prevents the accessed content from being traced back to the user. This allows a high level of …

Most of nowadays quantum key distribution (QKD) networks rely on trusted nodes. While
trusted nodes allow for overcoming range limitations of QKD, their use hinders building …
