This development represents a significant step forward in quantum infrastructure by enabling standardized simulation of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) networks before physical deployment. By leveraging ETSI standards to integrate key management systems with virtual simulators, the platform effectively mitigates vendor lock-in and optimizes network topology without costly hardware trials. This approach directly addresses scalability challenges in building interoperable, multi-vendor quantum communication architectures.
SK Telecom and KISTI Unveil Standards-Based Digital Twin for Quantum Cryptography Networks at ECOC 2026

SK Telecom and KISTI have developed a digital twin for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) networks, allowing simulation and verification of network performance before physical deployment. This platform, unveiled at ECOC 2026, uses ETSI standards to connect a Key Management System with a virtual QKD network simulator, enabling cost-effective optimization and multi-vendor interoperability.
