Abstract
In quantum cryptographic communication based on quantum mechanics, each piece of information is loaded onto individual photons and transmitted. Therefore, it is impossible to eavesdrop on only a part, and even if an intruder illegally intercepts a photon and retransmits it to the recipient, it is impossible to send the same information to the photon by the principle of quantum duplication impossible. With the explosive increase of various network-based services, the security of the service is required to be guaranteed, and the establishment of a quantum cryptographic communication network and related services are being promoted in various forms. However, apart from the development of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology, a lot of research is needed on how to provide network-level services using this. In this paper, based on the quantum encryption device, we propose an integrated data structure for transferring quantum keys between various quantum encryption communication network devices and realizing an encrypted transmission environment.
