Standardization in the field of quantum communications has previously been carried out at several levels: international - here the work is carried out mainly on the basis of the ITU (ITU), a specialized agency of the UN in the ITU-T (ITU-T) sector - the telecommunications standardization sector, however, these documents are of a recommendatory nature; regional - for example, ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute), CIS committees and others; national - technical committees and national associations: CCSA (China Telecommunications Standards Association), NIST (American National Standards Institute); professional - IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), which previously standardized the most common IP, TCP, UDP uae whatsapp resource protocols and other associations.
areas has begun within the framework of the highest-level international organizations - ISO and IEC - whose documents have the status of international standards.
Manager of SMARTS-Quantellecom LLC Daniil Yashin reported that SMARTS-Quantellecom is participating in the development of standards for quantum communications as part of working groups on regulating the quantum communications industry in the field of information security, on the formation of legal foundations for quantum communications, as well as in terms of technical regulation of the industry.
Rostelecom is one of the developers of the roadmap for the long-term standardization plan in the field of quantum communications until 2030. Director of quantum projects at Rostelecom PJSC Sergey Khanenkov noted that the roadmap is at a high level of readiness and takes into account international experience and standardization plans in this area.
Rostelecom is a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the leading organization for international standardization in the field of communications and IT. Within the framework of the ITU, Rostelecom has been participating in the international standardization of quantum communications since 2019. The main areas are the architecture of building multi-node quantum networks, network protocols and the adaptation of international experience in these areas in Russia.
OOO "KuRate" (QRate is a company developing quantum key distribution systems related to quantum communications technologies) is also participating in the discussion of Russian standards. Specialists from this company participate in the work of TC 26 on specialized issues of cryptographic information protection.
"TC 26 is currently discussing a draft of "open" requirements for quantum key distribution systems, presented by our specialists, as well as proposals within the framework of the roadmap for prospective standardization in the field of quantum communications. Earlier, we presented an overview of current international regulatory documents defining the requirements and procedures for assessing the security of quantum key distribution systems," said QRate Business Development Director Alexander Priyutov.
"The tasks of standardization are cost reduction due to repeatability, interoperability and, of course, lobbying of interests. Therefore, any developer company is obliged to at least monitor international trends and achievements in the field of standardization, as well as participate in international activities within the framework of agreed procedures. We, as a company, exclusively monitor trends and understand that Russian achievements correspond to global ones. Moreover, a number of projects, demonstrated by our company among others, are shown for the first time in the world: quantum protection of unmanned transport, quantum-protected blockchain and others," explained Alexander Priyutov.
Now work on regulating quantum technologies in all available
