Quantum artificial intelligence for cyber threat mitigation

Deepika Bhatia, Pranav Bhardwaj, Jayati Ahuja

Applying quantum artificial intelligence (QAI) to protect healthcare systems includes several technologies that improve data security and protect against threats. The chapter emphasizes the need for advanced cybersecurity techniques in healthcare, integrating QAI to protect sensitive data. Traditional defense frameworks are insufficient, and QAI, a combination of quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI), is needed to address the complexities of cyber threats and establish enduring cybersecurity frameworks. The chapter describes the cybersecurity problems of the healthcare sector. Digital transformation has revolutionized the healthcare sector by introducing electronic health records, connected medical devices, and telemedicine which now provide a bigger target for cyber adversaries. The delicacy of health data is the reason why it is the major target of ransomware, data breaches, and other hacking techniques. As the threats grow more complicated, traditional security solutions may become less effective. This chapter presents QAI as a novel technique for taking care of these issues using the incredible computational power of quantum computing combined with the pattern recognition and decision-making skills of AI. Furthermore, the chapter reviews the field of quantum resistance, which is defined as the capability of algorithms to deliver secure encryption even in the face of quantum computers; under this context, the chapter presents lattice-based and hash-based cryptography as critical to protecting healthcare data from future quantum cyberattacks. These encryption techniques protect against threats from quantum computing and most of today’s common encryption methods such as the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) are vulnerable to breakage by quantum machines.

Quantum Cryptography and Machine Learning Integration for Secure Communication in Distributed Healthcare Systems

Dr. Surjya Prakash S Choudhury, Pankaj Parmar, Mr. Ankit Tyagi +5 more

Distributed healthcare, cloud-enabled medical services, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)-based technologies have greatly enhanced access to healthcare and real-time monitoring of patients, but the same technologies have created significant cybersecurity problems associated with unauthorized access, ransomware attacks, data interception, and sensitive patient information breaches. Secure communication in a distributed healthcare setting has become a substantial need, therefore, as conventional cryptography approaches are progressively becoming susceptible to novel and sophisticated cybercrimes as well as novel quantum computing assaults. The study presents a secure communication model, combining Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) based on the BB84 protocol and machine learning-based adaptive intrusion detection to distributed healthcare systems. The given framework uses BB84 quantum cryptography to create safe key exchange and encrypted healthcare communication networks, whereas the machine learning module would detect and classify malicious cyberattacks in real-time such as denial-of-service attacks, unauthorized access, malware, and network anomalies. The efficiency of the developed framework in the case of various attacks was evaluated experimentally on standard datasets on cybersecurity like NSL-KDD and CICIDS2017. Analysis of performance was conducted based on classification measures such as Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1-score as well as an assessment of attack vulnerability reduction and enhanced security in communication. As the results of the experiment show, the offered BB84 and machine learning-enhanced framework has a much greater intrusion detection capacity, leads to better secure healthcare communication, lower vulnerability to cyberattacks, and has a more solid defense against each eavesdropping and unauthorized intrusion than the use of traditional security mechanisms. The presented framework is a step towards scalable and intelligent healthcare cybersecurity systems, as it fuses quantum-safe communication with adaptive machine learning-based threat detection, as well as emphasizes the future potential of quantum artificial intelligence-based security architectures in the future of distributed healthcare infrastructure.

Advancing Security in Cloud-based Patient Information Systems with Quantum-resistant Encryption for Healthcare Data

Olufisayo Juliana Tiwo, Temilade Oluwatoyin Adesokan-Imran, Damilola Comfort Babarinde +3 more

The increasing adoption of cloud-based patient information systems in healthcare enhances efficiency and accessibility but introduces significant cybersecurity risks. Traditional encryption methods, such as RSA and ECC, are becoming vulnerable due to rapid advancements in quantum computing, necessitating the transition to quantum-resistant encryption. This study evaluates the effectiveness of post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) solutions in securing cloud-stored healthcare data. Using publicly available datasets, including HHS breach records, NIST PQC benchmarks, and HIMSS cybersecurity reports, this research identifies trends in healthcare data breaches, encryption adoption, and regulatory penalties. Findings indicate a strong correlation between increased cloud adoption and cybersecurity breaches, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced encryption. Post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, particularly CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium, outperform traditional encryption methods in terms of security and computational efficiency, making them viable for healthcare applications. Institutions that have adopted PQC show a marked decline in regulatory fines, reinforcing its role in compliance and risk mitigation. This study underscores the need for early PQC adoption, increased investment in cybersecurity training, and regulatory collaboration to ensure seamless integration of quantum-resistant encryption. The research provides critical insights into the evolving cybersecurity landscape, emphasizing the necessity of transitioning to PQC to safeguard patient data against future quantum threats. These findings serve as a strategic guide for healthcare institutions and policymakers, advocating for proactive encryption strategies that align with regulatory standards and ensure long-term data security.
