Y.3800 is an ITU-T Recommendation (computer standard) with the long name "Overview on networks supporting quantum key distribution", that gives an overview of networks supporting quantum key distribution (QKD) cryptographic protocols.[1]
The standard provides support for the design, deployment, operation and maintenance for the implementation of QKD networks (QKDNs), in terms of standardized technologies.[2] It extends existing point-to-point system, and allows for QKD networks.
The relevant network aspects of conceptual structure, layered model and basic functions are within the scope of the Recommendation to support its implementation.[3][4]
As of September 2020, Y.3800 as well as the related Y.3801 is the basis of QKD trials being conducted by Verizon between their 5G lab in Virginia and Washington D.C.[5]
Corrigendum 1
Corrigendum 1 transforms 'IT-secure keys' into 'secure keys' and makes the location of a security demarcation boundary unspecified.
