Big data analytics for large‐scale UAV‐MBN in quantum networks using efficient hybrid GKM

R Mahaveerakannan, Suresh Gnana Dhas C

Summary A primary important aspect of wireless network domain is known to be secured communication as the signals are emphatically available and broadcasted through the air. Quantum wireless networks are a hot topic of research in recent years that made researchers to avail new techniques in this field. Big data is one of the major aspects that support large‐scale quantum network applications. As sensor nodes have resource constraints, it is more complex when using the traditional techniques of key establishment that only used for stable communication networks. Group‐related applications are also one of the important aspects in wireless network for sending and receiving messages from multiple users. Unfortunately, maintenance of security for the group‐oriented protocols is major issue due to the frequent changes in membership. In this paper, a hybrid GKM with re‐keying procedure is proposed to obtain a secure communication for the remote system of unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) with mobile backbone network (MBN). Here, the group controller is selected based on the simplified hybrid energy efficient distributed (HEED) protocol and honey key encryption algorithm is used by the key management center (KMC) for generating and distribution of key for the group's controller. The secure communication is explored using the key exchange mechanism between the nodes. The joining and leaving of a node from the group are initiated by the re‐keying process. The simulation results explain the improved performance of the proposed hybrid method when compared with other existing techniques in terms of privacy level, energy, memory, and time consumption.

Hybrid Quantum-secure Group-based Communication with PQC and QKD

Johanna Sepúlveda, Dominik Marchsreiter, Filippo Maria Cardano

Emerging network applications are based on collaborative environments that rely on the secure group-based communication paradigm. These protocols use traditional public-key cryptography (PKC) for authenticating the group members and exchange secret keys. However, the foreseeable breakthrough of quantum computers represents a risk for the secure systems based on PKC. In order to prepare for such an event, quantum-secure group-based communications must be established. Post-quantumcryptography (PQC) and quantum-key distribution (QKD) are two quantum-resistant technologies that can be used for enabling the long term security in such collaborative environments. This work proposes four quantum-secure group-based communication solutions, based on contributory and decentralized protocols. PQC and hybrid technologies (PQC/QKD) are explored. The solutions use PQC Key-exchange algorithms or QKD protocols (decoy-BB84 and T12) for key generation and PQC signature algorithms for authentication. For the first time hybrid schemes for group-based technologies are designed and explored. Results show that the group-based decentralized protocol (PQC SLIMCAST) outperforms the contributory protocol PQC GAKE. The PQC-based approaches have a better performance than the QKD versions.
