The objective of this activity is to derive two sets of specifications for prepare-and-measure QKD transceivers (quantum, classic, user, monitoring and control interfaces), one for satellite and one for terrestrial appli…
cation, that will be presented for standardization in a European standardization body as part of the activity. The activity will include an in-depth analysis of the performance and of the security of the two proposed QKD solutions, with a specific focus on the security of the quantum channel. To thi
s purpose, the two sets of specification will consider all known vulnerabilities of QKD systems and provide a dedicated countermeasure for each of them. The strategy to implement these countermeasures will include a complete security proof,
