ISO/IEC:
Secu­ri­ty requi­re­ments, test and eva­lua­ti­on methods for QKD

ISO/IEC 23837 defi­nes a set of rigo­rous and com­mon secu­ri­ty spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons for QKD modu­les manu­fac­tu­r­ers, so that manu­fac­tu­r­ers can fol­low the stan­dard to design and imple­ment IT pro­ducts that use QKD, and eva­lua­tors can fol­low the stan­dard to test and eva­lua­te the secu­ri­ty of QKD modu­les, redu­cing the risk of a fail­ure of secu­ri­ty in ope­ra­ti­on. This docu­ment uses the stan­dar­di­zed model and lan­guage of ISO/IEC 15408 to defi­ne a com­mon base­line set of secu­ri­ty func­tion­al requi­re­ments for QKD modu­les.
