In ITU-T, standardization activities mainly focus on QKD networks, in which study group (SG) 11 studies the protocol and test aspects; SG 13 studies QKD network aspects such as architecture, function elements, and quality of services (QoS); SG 17 studies security aspects, such as security framework and security requirements.
