A New Mechanism for Enhancing the Security of Military Internet of Things by Using Quantum and Classic Cryptography

S. N. Doustimotlagh

One of the dangers that is inflicted to the world by quantum algorithms is their usage to break the security of some systems based on classical cryptography. Nonetheless, the security of systems based on quantum cryptographic algorithms is safe from this risk. Another useful feature of quantum cryptography algorithms is the ability to figuring out any eavesdropping in the communication channel. Also, it is possible to safely distribute shares from the stock maker to the shareholders in the quantum secret sharing algorithm, while this is not possible in the classic secret sharing algorithm. One of the most important applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) network is the Military Internet of Things (MIoT). Due to the fact that MIoT has a direct impact on battlefields, military usage of IoT is more important than civilian applications. Therefore, security issues related to various parts of the MIoT are very critical. In this paper, we have presented a new design using a combination of classical cryptography (specifically the newly introduced digital signature scheme) and quantum cryptography (specifically quantum secret sharing) to improve the security of MIoT. Compared to similar research that have been conducted in this area, the introduced scheme provides more security requirements and is resistant to almost most of famous attacks on this network.

Decrypting China’s Quantum Leap

Munish Sharma

China has achieved major scientific accomplishments since embarking in 2001 on a journey to harness the vast potential of quantum mechanics in information security and military applications. Chinese scientists claimed success in satellite-based entanglement distribution in June 2017. Three months later, in September 2017, the 2,000-kilometer Quantum Communication Line between Shanghai and Beijing opened the world’s first trunk line of secure quantum telecommunications. China’s political leadership has demonstrated its interest and support in this very expensive endeavor, owing to the strategic and military applications of quantum cryptography, quantum computing, and quantum metrology for highly secure communications, stealth submarine operations, and military code breaking. This article explores the rapid development and evolution of research in quantum communications in China, the critical role of political leadership, and the immense opportunities it holds in the military domain.

Quantum Cryptography

S. Rajasekar, R. Velusamy

Quantum cryptography lies at the intersection of information theory and quantum mechanics. Cryptosystems come in two major classes depending on whether the key is shared in public or in secret. Public key cryptosystems are special in that they allow two people, who have not yet met, to communicate securely by looking-up encryption methods in a public directory. In quantum cryptography, the sender and receiver have two types of communication channels: a classical public channel and a quantum channel. The best application of cryptography is to allow a secure communication. In the near future, quantum cryptography may be used in top-secret applications in the military, for example, as the basis of communication links. The first protocol for quantum cryptography was proposed in 1984 by C. H. Bennett and G. Brassard. Some of the basic quantum cryptographic systems are: four-states protocol, two-states protocol, 4+2 protocol and multi-photon and multi-stage protocol.
