To avoid having to transmit encryption keys over the network, when communication is needed, the two involved parties instead exchange timestamps corresponding to photon detections. The corresponding keys are then calculated by each party, but never shared. Eavesdroppers intercepting the communication will only be able to pick up cyphertext, with no public key to even give a clue on how to decipher it.
The same QEKG device can be used to create a BB84 quantum key distribution system, which would serve as the basis of an overlaying quantum network. In this case, photons, and not timestamps, would be transported over the network, and the system would be protected by the no-cloning theorem. Any intercept would again cause an error in key generation.
