Abstract: This chapter explores the intersection of machine learning (ML) and quantum cryptography, focusing on how next-generation algorithms are enhancing secure computing. It begins with an introduction to quantum cryptography, outlining its fundamental principles and importance in protecting data against classical and quantum attacks. The chapter then delves into the role of machine learning in cryptography, examining its applications in optimizing cryptographic protocols, detecting anomalies, and predicting vulnerabilities. The development of quantum-enhanced algorithms, particularly in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and quantum random number generation, is discussed, highlighting how ML is driving innovation in these areas. Practical case studies are presented to demonstrate real-world implementations, followed by an analysis of the challenges and risks associated with deploying ML-enhanced quantum cryptography, including computational complexity, security vulnerabilities, and ethical considerations. The chapter concludes with a discussion on future trends, such as quantum machine learning (QML) and the integration of AI, blockchain, and quantum cryptography, offering a vision for the future of secure computing in the quantum era.

Quantum computing promises to revolutionize machine learning, offering significant efficiency gains in tasks such as clustering and distance estimation. Additionally, it provides enhanced security through fundamental principles like the measurement postulate and the no-cloning theorem, enabling secure protocols such as quantum teleportation and quantum key distribution. While advancements in secure quantum machine learning are notable, the development of secure and distributed quantum analogues of kernel-based machine learning techniques remains underexplored. In this work, we present a novel approach for securely computing common kernels, including polynomial, radial basis function (RBF), and Laplacian kernels, when data is distributed, using quantum feature maps. Our methodology introduces a robust framework that leverages quantum teleportation to ensure secure and distributed kernel learning. The proposed architecture is validated using IBM's Qiskit Aer Simulator on various public datasets.

In this paper, we apply Quantum Machine Learning to analyze security datasets. We compare cross-models, Quantum Machine Learning (QML) against Classical Machine Learning (CML), performance with increasing data size, and performance with increasing iteration numbers using commonly used machine learning techniques such as Neural Networks (NN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Logistic Regression (LR). Our study focuses on assessing the accuracy of QML and CML approaches on real-world security datasets. The results provide light on the advantages and disadvantages of both QML and CML methodologies, with implications for their use in security data analysis. The experimental findings provide useful information on the applicability of QML and CML for security-related applications. The study contributes to the growing field of quantum machine learning research, particularly in the context of security data analysis, and offers helpful advice for academics and practitioners working in this area.
