Scope

The present document is a preparatory action for the definition of properties of components and internal interfaces of QKD Systems. Irrespective of the underlying technologies@ there are certain devices that appear in most QKD Systems. These are e.g. quantum physical devices such as photon sources and detectors@ or classical equipment such as protocol processing computer hardware and operating systems. For these components@ relevant properties should be identified that will subsequently be subject to standardization. Furthermore@ a catalogue of relevant requirements for interfaces between components should be established@ to support the upcoming definition of internal interfaces.
