Abstract

In this demonstration, we showcase the realization of a prototype of an edge computing network, where the client and edge domains both host simulated Quantum Key Distribution devices, for a hospital use case. In particular, digital health applications using the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) paradigm will invoke remote functions provided by an Apache OpenWhisk cluster deployed in the edge infrastructure, where the arguments and return value are encrypted using keys generated through an underlying simulated QKD point-to-point network. All the interactions in the control/management plane are handled through standard interfaces defined by the ETSI MEC and QKD industry study groups.
