  abstract =     "In this paper, we report on the performance of the SwissQuantum quantum key
                 distribution (QKD) network. The network was installed in the Geneva metropolitan
                 area and ran for more than one-and-a-half years, from the end of March 2009 to the
                 beginning of January 2011. The main goal of this experiment was to test the
                 reliability of the quantum layer over a long period of time in a production
                 environment. A key management layer has been developed to manage the key between
                 the three nodes of the network. This QKD-secure network was utilized by end-users
                 through an application layer.",
