New Conference Paper – ML-Driven Attack & Fault Classification in CV-QKD Systems


We are proud to announce the publication of our paper “Machine Learning-Driven Attack and Fault Classification in CV-QKD Systems After Anomaly Detection”, presented at ONDM 2025. The work explores the use of machine-learning techniques for classifying both system faults and intentional attacks within continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) systems after initial anomaly detection has flagged potential issues.
Key take-aways:

  • Traditional classifiers (e.g., Gaussian Naive Bayes) perform inadequately in differentiating between faults and attacks in CV-QKD environments.
  • Deep neural network (DNN) approaches show promise for accurate categorization of anomalous events in quantum-secure optical networks.
  • The methodology contributes to enhancing the resilience of CV-QKD systems and supports broader integration of quantum-secure links in classical optical infrastructure.

    We believe this research will be of interest to network security professionals, quantum communications researchers, and developers working on converged quantum-classical optical systems.
