QuantumSafe QKD Bridge
Research / partner pilot

Present QKD-derived keys through governed enterprise interfaces, synchronize approved key material with HSM/KMS controls and support PPK-based protected tunnels.

CUSTOMER PROBLEM

QKD infrastructure exposes specialist protocols and operational constraints that existing applications, HSMs and VPNs are not designed to consume directly.

Present QKD-derived keys through governed enterprise interfaces, synchronize approved key material with HSM/KMS controls and support PPK-based protected tunnels.

OPERATING WORKFLOW

QuantumSafe QKD Bridge: from source input to governed outcome.

Every step names a product responsibility rather than a generic security box.

01

Ingest source evidence

Receive key material from an approved QKD endpoint

02

Validate key provenance

Validate peer, key identifier, entropy metadata and policy

03

Protect key material

Store or wrap the key inside the approved HSM/KMS boundary

04

Expose governed interface

Expose a PKCS#11, REST or RFC 8784 PPK reference

05

Control key usage

Consume the key once or according to approved lifecycle rules

06

Monitor health and failover

Monitor pool health, failover and cryptographic erasure

QKD–HSM INTEGRATION ARCHITECTURE

Convert partner QKD key material into governed application key references.

ETSI QKD connectivity, key-pool state, protected storage and application interfaces remain distinct, while high availability spans every layer.

Partner QKD boundary
QKD node AQKD node BETSI QKD 014
01

ETSI QKD 014 Connector

Authenticates the approved QKD endpoint and retrieves key identifiers, material references and source metadata.

PARTNER INTERFACE
02

Quantum Key Pool

Tracks available, reserved, consumed, expired and failed key states under a versioned consumption policy.

KEY STATE
03

HSM/KMS Synchronization Service

Wraps, stores or references key material inside an approved HSM/KMS boundary and records correlation evidence.

PROTECTED STORAGE
04

PKCS#11 & REST Facade

Exposes governed key references through versioned PKCS#11 and REST profiles without leaking raw key material.

APPLICATION INTERFACE
05

RFC 8784 PPK Adapter

Maps approved key references into IPsec pre-shared post-quantum key workflows with peer and lifetime binding.
