This paper investigates the problem of secret key transmissions for
an arbitrary Alice-Bob pair in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)-based
networks. We develop a realistic QKD-based network framework and we
show that the key transmission problem on such a framework can be
considered as a variant of the classical percolation problem. We also
present an adaptive stochastic routing algorithm protect from
inevitable eavesdroppers. Simulations were carried out not only to
validate our approach, but also to compute critical parameters
ensuring security. These results show that large quantum networks with
eavesdroppers do provide security.
