COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR APPLYING QUANTUM KEY DISTRIBUTION SECURITY FOR A TIME SENSITIVE NETWORK

Abstract:

A method includes identifying connections between plural components of a time sensitive network (TSN) that are interconnected via a predetermined connection plan. The method also includes determining quantum key distribution (QKD) information of the components. Also, the method further includes scheduling flows for the TSN based on the QKD information of the components.
