Abstract:
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a mechanism for creating shared,
secret, random bits. This document describes extensions to the IKEv2
protocol to use random bits created via QKD as keys for IPsec. The
Diffie-Hellman key agreement mechanism is replaced with QKD. The use
of QKD-generated keys with standard IPsec will extend the lifetime of
privacy guarantees for IPsec-protected data: future technological
advances that break Diffie-Hellman key exchange will not disclose
data until such time as the encryption algorithm used for the IPsec
tunnel is broken.
