| Description | Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) represents a reasonable countermeasure to the advent of Quantum Computing and its impact on current public-key cryptography. So far, considerable efforts have been devoted to investigate possible application scenarios for QKD in several domains such as Cloud Computing and NFV. This paper extends a previous work whose main objective was to propose a new software stack, the Quantum Software Stack (QSS), to integrate QKD into software-defined infrastructures. The contribution of this paper is twofold: enhancing the previous work adding functionalities to the first version of the QSS, and presenting a practical integration of the QSS in Kubernetes, which is the de-facto standard for container orchestration. |
