Detailed Description

QKD buffer is a secure storage for QKD keys.

QKDBuffer is assigned for each link using QKDControl on each side of the link (each node).

Note: The two nodes that establish the logical QKD connection will implement one QKD buffer on each side which will be assigned by QKDControl entity. The purpose of the QKD buffer is to collect enough key material for its subsequent use for cryptographic purposes. Due to the limited charging key rate of QKD protocols, QKDPostProcessing applications strive to save keys in QKD buffers to generate as many keys in advance. However, warehouses have a limited capacity that is defined with a maximum value. They also have a minimum capacity that describes the minimum amount of key required to establish initial post-processing operations. Also, the buffer implements a threshold value that may indicate that the necessary actions are being taken before the buffer is completely emptied.

It is important to note that a QKD link has full application only when there are enough keys to apply for cryptographic purposes. Therefore, constant monitoring of the state of the QKD buffer is necessary to identify the statuses in which the QKD buffer can be found: READY - Amount of key is larger than threshold Mthr WARNING - Amount of key is lower then threshold and the amount of keys in the buffer is decreasing CHARGING - Amount of key is lower then threshold and the amount of keys in the buffer is increasing EMPTY - The amount of keys in the buffer is lower than the minimal value

The states of the QKD buffer do not directly affect the communication, but it can be used for easier prioritization of traffic depending on the state of the buffer. For example, in EMPTY state, QKD post-processing applications used to establish a new key material should have the highest priority in traffic processing.
