This recommendation specifies requirements of machine learning based QoS assurance for the quantum key distribution networks (QKDN). This recommendation first provides an overview of requirements of machine learning based QoS assurance for the QKDN. It describes a functional model of machine learning based QoS assurance and followed by associated high level and functional requirements of machine learning based QoS assurance.

This standard defines the Software-Defined Quantum Communication (SDQC) protocol that enables configuration of quantum endpoints in a communication network in order to dynamically create, modify, or remove quantum protocols or applications. This protocol resides at the application layer and communicates over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The protocol design facilitates future integration with Software-Defined Networking and Open Networking Foundation OpenFlow. The standard defines a set of quantum device configuration commands that control the transmission, reception, and operation of quantum states. These device commands contain parameters that describe quantum state preparation, measurement, and readout.
The objective of this Recommendation is to provide guidance on security requirements for trusted nodes in QKD networks. This Recommendation will identify the security threats and provide security requirements of trusted node, as well as some implementation examples to meet the requirements.
Recommendation ITU-T X.1712 specifies security threats and security requirements for key management in quantum key distribution networks (QKDNs), and then it specifies security measures of key management to meet the security requirements. This Recommendation provides support for design, implementation, and operation of key management in QKDN with approved security.
For quantum key distribution networks (QKDN), Recommendation ITU-T X.sec_QKDN_intrq specifies security requirements for integration of QKDN with various user networks (e.g., storage, cloud, sensor, content, etc.).
