Post-Quantum Cryptography: A Fresh Way to Protect Data in Cloud Services

Adil.O.Y. Mohamed

This study seeks to apply Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) as a newly emerging essentially future secure means of transmitting data within cloud environments. The whole world got up in realization that with the advent of quantum computing, traditional encryption algorithms would be unscrambled. Therefore this proposed research is aimed at developing a quantum resistance security framework to ensure data availability, confidentiality, and integrity for multi-user cloud environments using PQC algorithms, hybrid encryption models, and blockchain-based trust mechanisms.

Secure Proof in Non-Asymmetric Trusted Execution Environments (ASEE) Based on Quantum Key Distribution

Jincheng Zhang

This paper proposes a novel approach to security proof within Non-Asymmetric Trusted Execution Environments (ASEE) leveraging Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). The core challenge in ASEE design is establishing trust in the execution of code, often relying on a central trusted party. We introduce a mechanism that utilizes QKD to generate a shared key, which is then employed to securely encrypt the quantum state representing the execution process of the code. Post-execution verification confirms the correctness of the results, followed by decryption using the same key. This process creates a fundamentally verifiable trust foundation, directly addressing the trust issues inherent in traditional ASEE models. The method offers a robust defense against potential attacks by providing a complete audit trail of the code's execution through the quantum key distribution process. We demonstrate the feasibility and potential security advantages of this approach.

A Lightweight Hybrid Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol for Decentralized Device-to-Device Communication with Post-Quantum Confidentiality

Asday Savón-Berenguer, Sorin-Aurel Moraru, Juan Carlos García Naranjo +1 more

Device-to-device (D2D) communication is expected to become a key component of 6G and IoT systems, enabling low-latency and infrastructure-independent connectivity. A major challenge is to establish secure session keys between previously unknown devices without relying on an online trusted third party, while also ensuring resilience against future quantum adversaries. This paper proposes a lightweight hybrid authentication and key agreement protocol for decentralized D2D communication. The approach combines IPFS-assisted distributed key discovery with a two-message protocol that uses post-quantum key encapsulation for long-term confidentiality, while retaining elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for efficient real-time authentication under classical security assumptions.This design reflects the different temporal security requirements of confidentiality and authentication and provides a practical trade-off between quantum resilience and computational efficiency. The proposed scheme achieves mutual authentication under classical ECC assumptions, secure session key establishment, and resistance against common attacks, while providing post-quantum confidentiality protection against future quantum adversaries and removing the need for an online trusted third party (TTP) during protocol execution. The results demonstrate that the protocol offers a competitive and practical solution for secure decentralized D2D communication in IoT and future 6G environments.
