 roadmap) [QIT Working Group](https://futurenetworks.ieee.org/roadmap/qit-w
 orking-group)\, [Security and Privacy Working Group](https://futurenetwork

 oup](https://futurenetworks.ieee.org/roadmap/aiml-working-group)\, and the
  [eMerging Open Tech Foundation](https://www.eotf.in/eotf/) which focuses 
 on Quantum and AI skills development.\n\nDate/Time: Thursday\, 25 Septembe
 r 2025 @ 9 AM PDT\n\nTopic:\n\nQuantum Key Distribution (QKD) Panel Webina
 r\n\nAbstract:\n\nThe subject of Data Sovereignty\, Security and Privacy h
 as become a major factor in national and regional Quantum initiatives to a
 dopt Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). Although QKD is to safeguard communic
 ation across different digital facilities across different nations and reg
 ions it comes down to how to deal with Quantum Channel versus Classical Ch
 annels of communication. The Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)\, Private
  as well Physical and Virtual Infrastructure can not be just managed by Cr
 yptography Algorithms recommended by National Institute of Standards and T
 esting (NIST) and other Standard Development Organizations (SDOs) includin
 g IEEE. It needs a Sovereign &amp; Secure (S&amp;S) communication within the bound
 s of Quantum and Classical communication channels for Quantum and Classica
 l communication\, sometimes referred to as hybrid communication in this co
 ntext.\n\nThe Architecture of QKD and system level components will be take
 n up by one or more panel speakers.\n\nThe Quantum and Network Communicati
 on experts in this QKD webinar will then focus on the Teleporting\, and Qu
 antum protocols like BB84 to detect eavesdropping\, other BB84x variants\,
  E91 (Ekert 91)\, Device Independent (DI-QKD) for S&amp;S communication.\n\nTh
 e expert panel on QKD will walk you through three approaches to address QK
 D exchange. The primary being the Multi Fiber Channel (MFC) using example 
 1 of 4 Channels being used for Quantum and rest for Classical Data to achi
 eve S &amp; S Objective. The other one will be to use SatCom facility to distr
 ibute key with Light Earth Orbital (LEO) and Terrestrial vs. Non-Terrestri
 al networks.\n\nFinally an Integrated QKD over MFC and SatCom will differ 
 in cost and hybrid implementation will reduce cost and achieve S&amp;S QKD and
  help global regions to keep peace without getting into hacking and eavesd
 ropping and Harvest now and decrypt later posture.\n\nSpeaker:\n\nCo-spons
