IC 6-2.5-15-13.2: "Quantum safe fiber network"

Sec. 13.2. As used in this chapter, "quantum safe fiber network" means a fiber network that includes each of the following attributes:

(1) A deployed fiber infrastructure comprised of:

(A) standard single mode optical fibers (G.652.D) that are compliant with the federal Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-39, 93 Stat. 144, as amended);

(B) flexgrid reconfigurable photonic layer; and

(C) only coherent optical transponders with FIPS 140-3 certified L1 encryption (OTNsec) with support for external key from quantum key distribution servers that are compliant with the federal Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-39, 93 Stat. 144, as amended);

on electronics and glass.

(2) A fiber infrastructure that is connected to:

(B) the Indiana National Guard;

(C) another military outlet or I-Light; or

(D) an institution of higher learning conducting quantum computing research or advanced computing research.

(3) A network engineered with physical intermediate access points (nodes) not more than sixty (60) miles apart.

(4) A network with physical intermediate access points (nodes) equipped with physical access control and remote monitoring.

(5) A network with quantum key distribution (QKD) servers deployed on every fiber span.

(6) A network that is not used for residential broadband and limited in use to less than fifteen percent (15%) for commercial broadband (ISP) applications.

(7) A network that complies with the federal Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-39, 93 Stat. 144) as amended.
