Detailed Description

QKD Encryptor is a class used to perform encryption, decryption, authentication, atuhentication-check operations and reassembly of previously fragmented packets.

QKD QKDLocationRegister is a class used to keep details about distant QKD nodes and their connectivity.

Note

QKD Encryptor uses cryptographic algorithms and schemes from Crypto++ free and open source C++ class cryptographic library. Currently, QKD Encryptor supports following crypto-graphic algorithms and schemes:

One-Time Pad(OTP) cipher,
Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) block cipher,
VMAC message authentication code(MAC) algorithm,
MD5 MAC algorithm,
SHA1 MAC algorithm.

As these algorithms can put a significant computational load on machines performing the simulation, the users can turn off actual execution of such algorithms and allow efficient simulation with more significant QKD topologies.

Note: QKDNetSim KMS implements a location register table that is used to define paths to distant node. It is a early version of routing table that will be updated via routing protocol.
