Scope:
This document specifies test and evaluation methods for the security evaluation of quantum key distribution (QKD). It also describes evaluation activities that constitute the test and evaluation methods for the security functional requirements on the implementation of QKD protocols, the quantum optical components and conventional network components in QKD modules. Moreover, supplementary evaluation activities for security assurance requirements are provided to support the security evaluation of QKD with appropriate assurance levels.
Project need:
To align Canadian requirements with those of international standards in the ICT subject area) adoption of new standard. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request P125 Technical Committee on Cybersecurity. It will provide the industry with the latest requirements in the field of ICT including cybersecurity and software.
