The development of this TR is significant to the European market, mainly because Europe is pushing very hard for the development of QKD while NIST favors PQC. NIST has marked QKD as a technology not to be adopted for cybersecurity, and some of these decisions might contradict the European Cybersecurity roadmap.
The European Commission also invests heavily in developing a QKD European Network and hybrid QKD-PQC protocol implementations, and the European Space Agency is involved in many free-space QKD communication projects.

My fellowship supports the creation of CEN/CENELEC/JTC22 WG4 working Items (WI) aiming to develop a Technical Report for QKD related technologies.
CEN/CLC/JTC 22/WG4/WI JT022002 (QKD and PQC - An equitable analysis) was accepted. Due to increased activity in the European Networks to implement hybrid cybersecurity protocols of QKD-PQC, the European Commission requested that the hybrid solutions should also be included in the existing WI JT022002, which currently analyses QKD and PQC separately. Therefore, the proposed activity in this application is an extension of the current WI Technical Report to cover the hybridization protocols.

Value of Research
This technical report, resulting from my fellowship’s contributions, is an equitable analysis of the relationship between Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-quantum Cryptography (PQC) technologies. It describes the two technologies' complementary nature and highlights their potential advantages and benefits.
