The ETSI GS QKD 014 specification is a specification for communication between a client and a QKD module to retrieve cryptographic keys that have been exchanged using a Quantum Key Distribution protocol.

The specifications can be found at the following address : https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_gs/QKD/001_099/014/01.01.01_60/gs_qkd014v010101p.pdf

Features

• Connect to a QKD server, using a custom CA, key and cert;
• Retrieve status of the QKD server with the get_status command;
• Retrieve a secure key using the get_key command;
• Retrieve a secure key knowing the key's ID using the get_key_with_key_IDs command.
