| description | Abstract The security of data communications is one of the crucial challenges that our society is facing today. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is one of the most prominent methods for guaranteeing ultimate security based on the laws of quantum physics. In this work, the results obtained during the Italian Industry 4.0 Quantum Testbed (II4QuTe) project are reported where the authors realised a QKD testbed securely connecting the Competence Industry Manufacturing 4.0 (CIM4.0) located in Torino and a TIM edge node located 10 km away from the testbed. The edge node accommodates the server providing computation capabilities for managing the real‐time data generated by the machines within the CIM4.0 digital factory pilot line, thus gracefully integrating QKD with the MEC (Multi‐access Edge Computing) paradigm. The experiment was conducted for more than 69 h, establishing an average key generation rate of 5.125 keys/s (AES‐256 keys) and demonstrating the stability of the entire end‐to‐end encryption system. |
