An ETSI GS QKD compliant TLS implementation

Abstract

This paper presents our implementation of the Quantum Key Distribution standard ETSI GS QKD 014 v1.1.1, which required a modification of the Rustls library. We modified the TLS protocol while maintaining backward compatibility on the client and server side. We thus wish to participate in the effort to generalize the use of Quantum Key Distribution on the Internet. Finally we used this library for a video conference call encrypted by QKD.
