As we discussed above, when it comes down to practical, end-to-end security properties, Quantum Key Distribution
removes trust in the hardness of particular mathematical problems (good!), but increases trust in the physical
integrity of the transceivers of the QKD link (bad!). In scenarios where the communicating parties are all located
within physical proximity--in QKD, meaning within at most a few hundred kilometers from each other depending on secret
key rate requirements--this added trust is of no consequence because the communcating parties' hardware must be trusted
within physical proximity---in QKD, meaning within at most a few hundred kilometers from each other depending on secret
key rate requirements---this added trust is of no consequence because the communcating parties' hardware must be trusted
in either QKD-assisted or purely classical setups. However, this trust requirement becomes a burden as soon as at least
one party is too far away (or higher secret key rates are required), as now physically trusted relays become necessary.
one party is too far away or when higher secret key rates are required, as now physically trusted relays become necessary.
Extrapolating to practical deployments, we can make two predictions. First, as QKD only solves key distribution, but the
actual data transfer still happens through normal off-the-shelf telecommunications components in QKD networks, there is
