RAMP: Toward Ubiquitous Quantum-Safe Key Distribution as a Service
RAMP proposes a trust architecture for quantum key distribution as a service, removing the dedicated-hardware barrier that has limited QKD adoption in enterprise environments.

arXiv:2610.22879v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers a security foundation independent of computational hardness assumptions. However, its reliance on specialized hardware limits access by ordinary users. Turning QKD into a service poses a fundamental trust challenge, as the providers that supply QKD-derived material themselves could retain knowledge of the keying inputs of users. This makes end-to-end confidentiality solely depend on the trustworthiness of the
Editorial Analysis
Post-quantum readiness is an emerging EU regulatory expectation; QKD-as-a-service could accelerate enterprise adoption once trust models are solved.
Include QKD-as-a-service architectures in your post-quantum cryptography transition assessment.
