TL;DR
This paper presents a centrally controlled quantum key distribution network that dynamically switches links and uses physical unclonable functions for real-time authentication, enhancing security and flexibility.
Contribution
It introduces a novel dynamic switched-QKD network with integrated PUF-based authentication, enabling real-time secure link switching.
Findings
Successful demonstration of a dynamic switched-QKD network
Real-time PUF-based authentication enhances security
Performance analysis confirms system viability
Abstract
We demonstrate a centrally controlled dynamic switched-QKD network, with integrated PUF-based dynamic authentication for each QKD link. The performance of the dynamic switched-QKD network with real-time PUF-based authentication is analyzed.
