Abstract

This document provides a mechanism for synchronizing and negotiating quantum keys by carrying quantum key information through IPv6 extension headers. The communicating parties select the corresponding encryption and decryption keys from the quantum key library based on the negotiation results, thereby achieving quantum-encrypted communication over IPv6 network. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
