QUANTUM KEY RELAY METHOD BASED ON CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL NETWORK, AND APPARATUS

摘要

Embodiments of this application relate to the field of communications technologies. The embodiments of this application are applicable to a centralized management and control network. A centralized controller obtains Z service requests, globally determines, based on an identifier of a source service node and an identifier of a destination service node that are corresponding to each of the Z service requests, a quantum key consumption parameter, and topology information of key nodes in the centralized management and control network, globally optimal key relay instructions corresponding to G service requests, and further delivers the key relay instructions corresponding to the G service requests to key nodes corresponding to the key relay instructions, so that the key nodes perform quantum key relay based on the key relay instructions, to generate a shared quantum key between the source key node and the destination key node.
