Post Quantum Cryptography in Healthcare: Future-Proofing Electronic Health Records Against Quantum Computing Threats and Cyber Attacks

The rapid advancement of quantum computing poses a significant threat to current cryptographic standards, particularly those securing electronic health records (EHRs) in healthcare systems.Traditional encryption methods such as RSA, ECC, and AES, while robust against classical attacks, are vulnerable to quantum algorithms like Shor's and Grover's, which can efficiently break cryptographic keys and compromise patient data integrity.As healthcare systems become increasingly interconnected through the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-based infrastructures, the need for quantum-resistant security mechanisms becomes paramount.Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) emerges as a viable solution to future-proof EHR security by employing lattice-based, hash-based, code-based, and multivariate polynomial cryptographic techniques that remain resistant to quantum attacks.This paper explores the implications of quantum computing on healthcare cybersecurity, emphasizing the vulnerabilities of existing encryption protocols and the necessity of transitioning toward PQC frameworks.Furthermore, we examine the integration of PQC within healthcare infrastructures, focusing on key exchange mechanisms, digital signatures, and end-to-end encryption for secure EHR transactions.Additionally, the study highlights regulatory and compliance considerations, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) PQC standardization efforts and the role of Zero Trust security models in mitigating quantum-era cyber risks.Case studies illustrate successful implementations of PQC in healthcare networks, demonstrating its feasibility and effectiveness in safeguarding sensitive medical information.By adopting quantum-resistant cryptographic standards, healthcare institutions can proactively defend against emerging cyber threats, ensuring data confidentiality, integrity, and long-term resilience in the face of quantum computing advancements.

Hybrid Cloud Computing with Post-Quantum Cryptography and Advanced Hashing for Robust User Authentication in Healthcare Systems

Akhil Raj Gaius Yallamelli, Vijaykumar Mamidala, Rama Krishna Mani Kanta Yalla +3 more

The speedy evolution of cyber threats is a serious threat to the protection of sensitive health information, with increasing threats from quantum computing. Conventional security does not keep up with evolving threats, and innovative solutions are needed. This paper introduces a secure hybrid cloud architecture that combines post-quantum cryptography (PQC), advanced hashing, and quantum key distribution (QKD) to authenticate further and protect data in healthcare systems. The primary mission is to generate an attack-resistant authentication process, robust data integrity assurance, and a functional system for key management with extensibility and regulation compliance. The considered infrastructure utilizes PQC-based robust encryption, robust hashing to authenticate data integrity, and QKD for providing secure key exchange augmented with multi-factor authentication. Implementing quantum-resistant protocols properly secures healthcare data in public and private cloud centers. Performance testing reveals a 99.6% overall success rate, 99.8% key exchange success, and 99.9% detection accuracy with QKD. PQC integration offers robust encryption, and advanced hashing techniques offer tamper-evident data integrity. The results establish the strong security, scalability, and quantum age cyber threat tolerance of the approach as a secure solution for guarding healthcare applications and delivering confidential, integrity-guaranteeing data protection.

Quantum cryptography and cybersecurity in healthcare data

Deepika Bhatia, Tanya Singh, Harsh Bhasin

Using quantum cryptography can significantly support cybersecurity in healthcare, paving the way for safer digital environments. As the sector evolves, ongoing research and innovation in quantum technologies will be essential for ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of patient information, ultimately enhancing the quality of care delivered in an increasingly interconnected world. The chapter explores the evolution of quantum cryptography to strengthen cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. As reliance on digital technology increases, protecting sensitive patient information becomes more important. Quantum cryptography offers a new way to create secure communication using the principles of quantum mechanics. These briefs highlight the critical need for security measures that can prevent devastating cyber threats. The second section describes the role of quantum algorithms, particularly quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum-resistant algorithms. QKD allows encryption keys to be exchanged securely, ensuring that any eavesdropping attempts are detected, thus preserving the integrity of communications. Quantum-resistant algorithms have also been designed to prevent quantum computer attacks that could compromise cryptographic systems. By integrating these technologies, healthcare organizations can reduce the negative impacts associated with traditional processes and protect patient information from unauthorized access to interventions and research reports. As these technologies continue to mature, their integration with healthcare systems provides an opportunity to build trust and cost-effectiveness in these digital health solutions. This integration not only increases data security but also supports the development of AI applications that can analyze large amounts of medical data. The digital environment is more secure. As the industry evolves, continued research and innovation in quantum technology will be necessary to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of patient data and ultimately improve the quality of care in an ever-changing world.
