The impact of quantum technologies on secure communications

Diksha Chawla, Pawan Singh Mehra

Quantum computing, based on quantum mechanical principle, can potentially provide significant advantages over classical computing. This advantage of quantum computing provides solutions to many previously unsolvable problems in secure communication and finance. IoT is an emerging technology that deals with a large amount of data. The data communicated in IoT need to be secured. The existing security architecture of IoT is based on cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and ECC. Quantum computing had a significant impact on the security of these algorithms. Therefore, our work analyses the security concerns of IoT smart applications and quantum-based solutions. This article provides a survey of quantum computing fundamentals and the impact of quantum computing on IoT security. Thus, this paper aims to provide a wide view of quantum-enabled IoT communication. The main challenges in implementing quantum-enabled communication are also analyzed in our work.

Abstract Electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) superiority represents a prerequisite for resilient defence strategies, capable of effective and adequate response to our global security environment. Besides, quantum communications are being considered one of the most promising technologies with applications in security related domains. To this extent, the development of quantum communication infrastructures will significantly impact the architecture of the modern electromagnetic operational environment. Quantum technologies pave the way towards revolutionary technologies by exploiting physical phenomena from different angles and enabling extremely sensitive measurements of multiple parameters including electromagnetic fields. This paper aims to present a short description of quantum technologies with applications for electromagnetic spectrum monitoring and discusses their impact on future electromagnetic warfare operations.
