ETSI ETSI GS QKD 004 V1.1.1 (2010-12) 51 Scope The present document is intended to describe the interface between security applications and a QKD key

16、management layer, which is an additional layer that sits between the QKD systems and various applications. Key Management in general, covers the exchange, storage, protection, use, identification, installation, replacement and destruction of cryptographic keys. A QKD system may provide keys for a Ke

17、y Management System. QKD, like most key distribution protocols, requires a distributed key management process that operates in a symmetric (vs. server/client) mode. So both key management peers shall negotiate and verify all reservations and allocations. The QKD protocol generates a pool of ordered

18、secure bits. The function of this key management layer is to demultiplex these bits into separate, ordered groups, where each group is used independently by applications and thus shall be synchronized between the two communication end points. By synchronized we mean that a group of secure bits reser

19、ved at one communication end point are identical to the associated group at the other communication end point. It is also required that these same secure bits are then discarded by this layer once they are used and never revealed to anyone else. 2 References References are either specific (identifie

This is a dist

33、ributed process and shall operate in a symmetric (vs. server/client) mode. So all key management peers shall negotiate and verify all reservations and allocations that are associated with them. The QKD protocol generates a pool of ordered secure bits. The function of this key management layer is to

34、demultiplex these bits into separate, ordered groups, where each group is used independently by applications and thus shall be synchronized between the two ends of the communication end points. By synchronized we mean that a group of secure bits reserved at one end point are identical to the associa

35、ted group at the other end point. It is also required that these same secure bits are then discarded by this layer once they are used (delivered to the application) and never revealed to anyone else. The Key Management Interface describes the interface of the applications with this layer. It is assu

36、med that applications that call upon the services of this layer do so via the application programming interfaces (APIs) specified in the following clauses and that this interchange is accomplished within the security perimeter of the QKD System. Manufacturers shall supply and implement these API fun

37、ction calls when a key management layer is provided. Manufacturers may provide additional APIs and expanded functionality as they deem fit. Furthermore this layer is not required if the manufacturer is using the QKD system in a dedicated single application, such as a link encryptor product where the

38、y are the only user. 5 QKD Application Interface Specification Description The QKD key management layer shall demultiplex the ordered QKD pool of secure bits into separate independent groups that are synchronized at both ends of the QKD link and pass those groups to their associated applications. Th

39、is requires that each local key manager shall communicate with its peer at the other end of the QKD link to perform this service. In addition, some communication between the peer applications may also be necessary to establish a common key association. Communication between the local applications an

40、d the local QKD key manager is assumed to occur within the security perimeter of the local system, as shown in the Figure 1. Figure 1: QKD Application Interface and peer relationship Scenario for a QKD network with multiple QKD links per node is described in Annex C. ETSI ETSI GS QKD 004 V1.1.1 (201

41、0-12) 86 QKD Application Interface API Specification The QKD key provider mode must provide the following API functions. Name Description QKD_OPEN Reserve an association (key_handle) to a set of future keys at both ends of the QKD link through this distributed Key Management Layer and establish a se

42、t of parameters that define the expected levels of key service. This function shall return immediately and not block. QKD_CONNECT_NONBLOCK Verifies that the QKD link is available and the key_handle association is synchronized at both ends of the link. This function shall not block and returns immedi

43、ately indicating that both sides of the link have rendezvoused or an error has occurred. QKD_CONNECT_BLOCKING Verifies that the QKD link is available and the key_handle association is synchronized at both ends of the link. This function shall block until both sides of the link have rendezvoused, an

44、error is detected, or the specified TIMEOUT delay has been exceeded. QKD_CLOSE This terminates the association established for this key_handle and no further keys will be allocated for this key_handle. Due to timing differences at the other end of the link, the peer operation will happen at some oth

45、er time and any unused keys shall be held until that occurs and then be discarded. QKD_GET_KEY Obtain the required amount of key material requested for this key_handle. Each call shall return the fixed amount of requested key or an error message indicating why it failed. This function may be called

46、as often as desired, but the key manager only needs to respond at the bit rate requested through the QOS parameters, or at the best rate the system can manage. The key manager is responsible for reserving and synchronizing the keys at the two ends of the QKD link through communication with its peer.

47、 This function may be blocking (wait for the key or an error) or non-blocking and always return with the status parameter indicating success or failure, depending on the request made via the QKD_OPEN function. The TIMEOUT value for this function is specified in the QKD_OPEN() function. The syntax of

48、 these functions is as follows (according to OMG IDL syntax defined in i.1). Interface QKD_AppInt QKD_OPEN (in destination, in QoS, inout key_handle , out status); QKD_CONNECT_NONBLOCK (in key_handle, out status); QKD_CONNECT_BLOCKING (in key_handle, in timeout, out status); QKD_GET_KEY (in key_hand

49、le, out key_buffer, out status); QKD_CLOSE (in key_handle, out status); NOTE: The parameter “key_handle“ is an output parameter when the caller is initially opening the connection and the value passed in is “NULL“. If the value is not “NULL“ the value is assumed to be either a “key_handle“ recently established by the peer end or a specifically desired/predefined “key_handle“. For use in all other functions “key_handle“ is an input. If the “key_handle“ is already in use by some other application, the QKD_OPEN function will return with an error. The parameters are descr
