Using QKD in MACsec for secure Ethernet networks

Abstract: Media access control security (MACsec) is an IEEE 802.1AE standard for secure communication on Ethernet links. MACsec ensures the confidentiality, integrity and origin authenticity of Ethernet frames. The secrecy of MACsec stems from a root key that is either configured as a pre-shared key or derived from a mutual authentication protocol. However, both methods are not ideal because such a root key may be disclosed due to human errors or broken by quantum attacks. Here, the authors investigate the quantum key d… Show more

“…Elegant though these protocols are, the realistic situations involve multiple participants distributed in a quantum network. Recently, the study of the distribution of information securely over a network is a thriving field [17–19]. In fact, quantum communication protocols such as QKD, quantum secret sharing, and quantum secure direct communication in networks have been proposed [20–23].…”
