Quantum secure enclosure

A system and method for establishing and using a quantum secure enclosure is described. In some embodiments, secure sharing randomness is distributed between nodes, e.g., using quantum key distribution. The secure sharing randomness is used to generate a quantum secure network key that enables establishment of a quantum secure network link between any of the nodes included in the quantum secure enclosure. A network manager executes a policy that restricts communications between nodes of the quantum secure enclosure to transmissions via quantum secure network links. Such arrangements protect communication data from quantum-enabled attacks that may endanger other forms of encryption. 描述了一种用于建立和使用量子安全包围区的系统和方法。在一些实施例中，例如使用量子密钥分发在节点之间分发安全共享随机性。所述安全共享随机性用于生成量子安全网络密钥，所述量子安全网络密钥使得能够在被包含在所述量子安全包围区中的任何所述节点之间建立量子安全网络链路。网络管理器执行策略，所述策略将所述量子安全包围区的节点之间的通信限制为经由量子安全网络链路的传输。此类布置保护通信数据免受可能危及其它形式的加密的量子使能的攻击。
