Quantum key distribution for data center security -- a feasibility study
Data centers are nowadays referred to as the digital world's cornerstone.
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a method that solves the problem of
distributing cryptographic keys between two entities, with the security rooted
in the laws of quantum physics. This document provides an assessment of the
need and opportunity for ushering QKD in data centers. Together with technical
examples and inputs on how QKD has and could be integrated into data-center
like environments, the document also discusses the creation of value through
future-proof data security as well as the market potential that QKD brings on
the table through e.g., crypto-agility. While primarily addressed to data
center owners/operators, the document also offers a knowledge base to QKD
vendors planning to diversify to the data center market segment.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figures, study initiated and supported by Copenhagen
