Course Overview

For defence network architects. Covers QKD-secured tunnelling for classified networks, quantum-safe VPN alternatives, repeater technology roadmaps, and hybrid PQC-QKD architectures for point-to-point and mesh defence communication links.

Curriculum

Course content is structured into sessions below. Each session is configurable to your organisation's environment, threat model, and objectives.

# Session Topics
1 Defence Tunnel Architecture and Quantum Vulnerability Where current encrypted tunnels are exposed
  • IPsec IKEv2 and TLS VPN key exchange: RSA and ECDH vulnerability under quantum attack
  • HNDL risk for tunnel traffic: classification of data types by sensitivity and shelf life
  • CNSA 2.0 migration requirements for tunnel key exchange and authentication
2 QKD and PQC Tunnelling Technologies Technical deep dive into quantum-safe alternatives
  • QKD-secured tunnels: key management, trusted relay nodes, and integration with existing encryptors
  • PQC VPN migration: ML-KEM in IKEv2, hybrid key exchange, and performance benchmarks
  • Satellite QKD for long-distance tunnel links: LEO downlinks and ground station infrastructure
  • Quantum repeater technology: current state and projected deployment timeline for extended-range QKD
Break
3 Architecture Design and Trade-off Analysis Choosing the right approach for each tunnel type
  • Decision framework: QKD for high-value/short-distance, PQC for general/long-distance, hybrid for critical paths
  • EuroQCI integration: connecting defence tunnel infrastructure to national quantum networks
  • Cost-benefit analysis: equipment, maintenance, and operational overhead for each approach
4 Discussion and Next Steps Planning your tunnel migration
  • Phased migration roadmap: PQC first for general traffic, QKD for highest-value links
  • Vendor landscape: Thales, Rohde and Schwarz, ID Quantique, and PQC VPN solutions
