QKD-App-Vaults

QKD Vault Key Aggregator

University Politehnica of Bucharest Quantum Team @ UPB

Description

This application aggregates QKD generated keys into a vault for later use. It connects to a broker that coordinates multiple clients and exchanges keys via the QKDGKT tooling.

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Access to a QKD device usable by QKDGKT

Installation

  1. Clone this repository and the QKDGKT helper next to it: bash git clone https://github.com/QuantumUPB/QKD-App-Vaults.git git clone https://github.com/QuantumUPB/QKD-Infra-GetKey.git QKD-App-Vaults/src/QKD-Infra-GetKey
  2. Install the Python dependencies: bash cd QKD-App-Vaults pip install -r requirements.txt pip install -r src/QKD-Infra-GetKey/requirements.txt
  3. Copy src/config_sample.toml to src/config.toml and update it with the broker information and desired segment size. The application will use config.toml if present and fall back to the sample file otherwise.

Usage

GUI client

  1. Start the broker (once per network): bash python src/broker.py Leave this process running.
  2. Run the GUI client in a different terminal: bash python src/qvault.py
  3. In the GUI, fill in the broker IP/port and your name, then connect.
  4. Use Refresh Client List to see other participants and click Run to generate a vault with a selected client. Generated keys are saved to CSV files named <peer>_YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.csv in the current directory.

CLI client

bash python src/qvault_cli.py list-clients --name <your-name> python src/qvault_cli.py run <peer> --name <your-name>

The CLI uses the same underlying functionality as the GUI but provides a terminal-based interface.
