LIU Guo-jun, ZHANG Zi-ping, WANG Hua, et al. Survivability Research on Optical Networks based on Quantum Key Distribution[J]. 2019,(5):28-32. DOI: 10.13756/j.gtxyj.2019.05.006.
Quantum Key Distribution(QKD) is considered as a secure solution to provide secret keys for the security of optical networks. In order to meet the security demands of fields like finance and military
the integration of QKD into optical networks has attracted much attention. At present
some studies have focused on the integration of QKD in optical networks
while researches on the survivability of optical networks based on QKD is still in a blank. Aiming at the survivability of optical networks based on QKD
this paper proposes protection schemes for key provisioning service
and evaluates the network performances through simulation. The results verify that the proposed method has better network blocking probability
resource utilization and key consumption rate. The proposed scheme provides an important advice for the development of the survivability of optical networks based on QKD.
