[TOSHIBA] 带有 BT、NCC 和 CFMS 的量子密钥分发用例
英国BT：与东芝共建量子密码通信网络：2021年内启动
东芝和英国BT：
全球首个量子密码商用城域网将于2021年建成。
2-3年示范期：
之后，将设定2-3年的示范期，在英国伦敦向多个客户提供数据通信服务试点。
新通讯网络：
在伦敦的码头区，
伦敦市，
沿郊区M4干线连接基地，
我们提供“使用量子密钥分发和量子密码技术的通信服务”。
两家公司已经在两个基地之间建立了一条线。
据说这是第一个多基地之间的量子密码通信网络。

BT and Toshiba install UK’s first quantum-secure industrial network between key UK smart production facilities
1st October 2020, London:
BT and Toshiba Europe Limited
today announce the UK’s first industrial deployment of a quantum-secure network,
transmitting between
the National Composites Centre (NCC), the UK’s world-leading composite research
and development facility,
and the Centre for Modelling & Simulation (CFMS),
a not-for-profit research organisation that pioneers new digital engineering capabilities.
Funded by Innovate UK’s AQuaSeC project,
the network demonstrates how Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)
– an essentially un-hackable, cutting edge technique for sharing encryption ‘keys’ between locations using a stream of single photons –
can be used to secure data traffic between key industrial sites where security is of paramount importance.
Using standard Openreach fibre, Toshiba’s QKD system enables the distribution of 1000s of cryptographic keys per second.
Its innovative multiplexing compatibility
allows the data and the quantum keys to be transmitted on the same fibre, eliminating the need for costly dedicated infrastructure for key distribution.
While this first deployment covers a range of 6km, the current maximum range extends up to 120km – allowing ultra-secure data transmission across major metropolitan environments.
