AB  - This paper summarizes the state of art in quantum communication networks and trust management in recent years. As in the classical networks, trust management is the premise and foundation of quantum secure communication and cannot simply be attributed to security issues, therefore the basic and importance of trust management in quantum communication networks should be taken more seriously. Compared with other theories and techniques in quantum communication, the trust of quantum communication and trust management model in quantum communication network environment is still in its initial stage. In this paper, the core technologies of establishing secure and reliable quantum communication networks are categorized and summarized, and the trends of each direction in trust management of quantum communication network are discussed in depth.
