Abstract

With the progress of technology and widespread use of internet, the data has become digital. It is getting easier day by day to copy, modify and transform digital data / applications into another form. The term of digital rights management (DRM) has been suggested to limit the use of data in digital media and to protect copyrights. Different architectures / technologies are used to provide DRM. In existing architectures, the user is unaware whether the license, which was purchased, is used by an unauthorized party. In this paper, a structure is given to resolve this problem and fairness property is added for DRM architectures. Moreover, a post-quantum reliable identification protocol based on multivariate quadratic systems, which can be used for access control in DRM architecture, is proposed.

Identification schemes in the post-quantum area based on multivariate polynomials with applications in cloud and IoT

Sedat Akleylek, Meryem Soysaldı

In this chapter, we survey the identification schemes based on multivariate polynomials over a finite field. We provide some basic definitions needed to construct the structure of identification schemes based on multivariate polynomials over a finite field. Then, we provide a brief survey of identification schemes based on multivariate polynomials by considering applications in different platforms. We analyze them in view of the zero knowledge property and the number of passes such as 3-pass and 5-pass. By considering open problems in the literature, we propose a novel identification scheme based on multivariate quadratic polynomials. Then, we compare them in terms of efficiency. We also provide a discussion for cloud, IoT, and big data applications of quantum secure identification schemes.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) for Identity Management

Oluwatosin Oladayo Aramide

The impending arrival of viable quantum computing is a major worry to modern-day identity management systems that mainly depend on classical public-key cryptography techniques such as RSA and elliptic curve. Such systems are the basis of secure infrastructure in digital identities such as authentication, digital signature and trust models based on certificates. These cryptographic primitives can be broken using quantum algorithms like Shor and Grover, compromising the privacy of credentials and sessions stored and authenticated on digital ecosystems. The paper provides the necessity of the transition of identity management systems to post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms that will be resistant to quantum attacks. It gives a general overview of quantum-exposed identity protocols, as well as a look at the up-and-coming PQC algorithms under development, with a special call to digital signature algorithms capable of identity provision, authentication, and credential lifecycle management. Moreover, the paper isolates the problems of integration which include key size overhead, legacy system compatibility and performance trade-offs and suggests integration to take place through the use of hybrid and decentralized framework to allow a secure migration. This study will form part of a strategic plan to a post-quantum identity infrastructure, with the long term reliability, validity, and withstanding of quantum-era vulnerabilities.

A Quantum AI-Enabled Framework for Secure Image Watermarking in Cryptographic and Cybersecurity Applications

Protecting the ownership of pictures and the integrity of copyright law is now of paramount importance with the explosion in digital content, especially content that is vulnerable to manipulation and distribution without the copyright owner's permission. This research work combines post-quantum cryptography, Artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing aspects to introduce ground breaking quantum intelligent and secure architecture for image watermarking. The proposed system is using quantum transform methods for inserting undetectable and tamper- proof quantum watermarks into digital images. AI models are then applied to the images for change detection and immediate verification of the authenticity of the watermark. Therefore, quantum key distribution (QKD), lattice-based post-quantum cryptography and other quantum safe encryption schemes are employed to cryptographically secure the metadata of watermark for good cryptographic security. This hybrid approach has been shown to enhance the security against both classical and quantum attacks. NFT authentication, secure cloud storage of pictures, and protection for copyright in digital media are examples of some potential applications. Simulation and experimental results show increased strength of the watermark, accuracy of message about unauthorized insertion of the watermark, and enhanced cryptographic security with respect to all other methods. The article demonstrates how AI can be aligned with quantum computing in order to secure audio-visual content in post-quantum cyber security.

Post-Quantum Attribute-Based Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol for Smart Healthcare

Liang Ni, Bingke Gu, Xiaoyan Liu +1 more

With the digitization and networking of medical and health data, intelligent medical devices are widely used to monitor patient health status and provide personalized medical services. However, these devices involve a large amount of personal health data and must ensure data security. The data security and privacy protection in the new complex network environment has become one of the important challenges in the field of healthcare. This study aims to propose a post quantum attribute based authentication key agreement protocol applicable to intelligent healthcare, to address the security risks and risks of medical data communication under traditional cryptographic systems. This new protocol is based on attribute authentication encryption technology without certificates on the grid, which completes mutual authentication and establishes secure communication through attribute and access control policies, and can optimize the deployment of certificate system components in public key infrastructure. Meanwhile, this scheme belongs to the post quantum cryptography protocol and has the ability to resist quantum computing attacks. Based on comprehensive analysis, this scheme can achieve certain advantages in execution efficiency and security, and can provide a more reliable choice for secure communication in the field of intelligent healthcare.

Digital identity system using post-quantum cryptographic paradigms

Manas Patil, Ansh Shah, Aditya Repe +3 more

Abstract In context of a rapidly developing digital landscape, it has become imperative that users secure their digital interactions. The advent of quantum computing presses this need further. This research presents a comprehensive framework for a digital identity system using post-quantum cryptographic paradigms to ensure long-term security and privacy. By integrating quantum-resistant algorithms for primitives such as key encapsulation mechanisms, digital signatures, and advanced hashing techniques, the proposed system delivers secure identity management. The framework is designed to withstand potential threats posed by quantum computers while maintaining compatibility with existing infrastructure. We evaluate the system's performance through a rigorous security analysis of the proposed algorithm by time leakage vectors and statistical analysis thereof, concluding that there are no implementation attack vectors independent to the proposed algorithm and that it's security is reliant on its components only.
