Abstract
We demonstrate the feasibility of a network-oriented Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) from affordable components, in the presence of White Rabbit time synchronisation on the same optical fibre. This allows for an optimal usage of resources, where optical networks are tailored for fast and accurate time distribution and lighter QKD systems exploit the network timing for synchronising the operations between distant users.
