The present document provides a definition of management interfaces for the integration of QKD in disaggregated network control plane architectures, in particular with Software-Defined Networking (SDN). It defines abstraction models and workflows between a SDN-enabled QKD node and the SDN controller, including resource discovery, capabilities dissemination and system configuration operations. Application layer interfaces and quantum-channel interfaces are out of scope.
