Quantum computing is a rapidly developing field with the potential to revolutionize many industries. However, it also poses a serious threat to the security of future networks as current communications rely on encryption to protect data from unauthorized access, which could be broken by quantum computers in the future. This means that they could be used to attack future networks like Beyond 5G (B5G) and Sixth Generation (6G) which are expected to be much more widely used than previous generations of networks. There are a number of things that can be done to mitigate the quantum threat to future networks. One approach is to develop new encryption algorithms, Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), that are resistant to quantum computers. Another approach is to use Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) to create secure keys that cannot be broken by quantum computers. This work examines the current state of quantum and post-quantum cryptography and their applications in upcoming generations of wireless networks such as 6G, and the challenges that might arise for their implementation. Additionally, a new isogeny-based post-quantum cryptographic scheme is presented. This paper aims to advance and contribute to the research and development of quantum security in future networks.

The techniques of quantum computing direct future data processing solutions toward problems that traditional computers solve poorly. This research investigates contemporary evolutionary developments in quantum computing systems which focus on data handling operations. Quantum computing has now reached an advanced state as a result of the synergy between quantum algorithm development and hardware work and error correction techniques that make this technology believable for broad-purpose revolution in multiple areas through higher efficiency and enhanced accuracy and speed. Research analyzes how quantum computing will transform industry business processes through future applications because the technology demonstrates great potential as a data processor. The paper investigates two key barriers that involve limited hardware potential and demanding specialized professionals. Future work examining quantum computing development is presented in the final section alongside assessments on the necessity of additional research activities that require collaborative teamwork.
