Norms and Stan­dards for Quan­tum Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on

Ear­ly stan­dar­diza­ti­on enables sus­tainable tech­no­lo­gi­cal deve­lo­p­ments and forms the basis for cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on. For this reason, the Deut­sche Insti­tut für Nor­mung (DIN) was com­mis­sio­ned to ana­ly­ze tog­e­ther with the experts from the Quan­tum Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on Com­mu­ni­ty cur­rent stan­dar­diza­ti­on needs and to coor­di­na­te and shar­pen stan­dar­diza­ti­on acti­vi­ties in the fur­ther cour­se of the pro­ject.

With the aim of iden­ti­fy­ing bar­riers and needs in the field of Qcom, SQuaD and DIN orga­ni­zed two work­shops in March 2024 on the sub­ject “Needs ana­ly­sis of norms and stan­dards for Quan­tum Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on along the value chain”. During the work­shops, the pro­duc­tion of the neces­sa­ry com­pon­ents and sys­tems, inte­gra­ti­on into exis­ting com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on infra­struc­tures and poten­ti­al end-user appli­ca­ti­ons were exami­ned in detail.

Open­QKD

Within the frame­work of the “Open­QKD” pro­ject of the EU Frame­work Pro­gram “Hori­zon 2020”, a mul­ti­di­sci­pli­na­ry team from 13 EU count­ries has inves­ti­ga­ted the poten­ti­al of Quan­tum Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on for the digi­tal secu­ri­ty of the EU infra­struc­tu­re. The results of the gap ana­ly­sis of the QKD stan­dar­diza­ti­on land­scape were published in the stu­dy “Cur­rent Stan­dar­di­s­a­ti­on Land­scape and exis­ting Gaps in the Area of Quan­tum Key Dis­tri­bu­ti­on”.
