Abstract

The fundamental aim in the age of information technology (IT) and artificial intelligence (AI) is to ensure software or web application security. A security alternative provides a wide range of software security approaches and algorithms. To improve the security character, security evaluation is an important component for assessment, management, and control. Early security evaluation assists in distinguishing worms, hazards, weaknesses, and threats. We are aware of that. The current paper will discuss how quantum computing is defined and characterised in software security. We utilise many techniques or algorithms to safeguard our financial organisations, our medical equipment, our military weaponry, our aviation systems, our boats, vehicles, navigators, etc. in software security (cryptography is the science or art to build a data protocol). However, when the big quantum computer develops, many cryptosystems will certainly fail. The current encryption method is becoming outdated as the cryptographic technique may be resolved by quantum computers. Therefore, in the framework of the existing quantum safety, it is necessary to focus more on intensive study. The key challenges in the quantum age would be cryptography solutions that satisfy the need for security, usability, and adaptability without jeopardising user trust. This study focused on Grover’s work and how the security aspect of software may be improved. In the field of software and online applications, software security in quantum computing will be investigated, given the importance of security issues in the quantum computing age.

The Evaluation of Software Security through Quantum Computing Techniques: A Durability Perspective

Hashem Alyami, Mohd Nadeem, Abdullah Alharbi +5 more

The primary goal of this research study, in the field of information technology (IT), is to improve the security and durability of software. A quantum computing-based security algorithm springs quite a lot of symmetrical approaches and procedures to ensure optimum software retreat. The accurate assessment of software’s durability and security is a dynamic aspect in assessing, administrating, and controlling security for strengthening the features of security. This paper essentially emphasises the demarcation and depiction of quantum computing from a software security perspective. At present, different symmetrical-based cryptography approaches or algorithms are being used to protect different government and non-government sectors, such as banks, healthcare sectors, defense, transport, automobiles, navigators, weather forecasting, etc., to ensure software durability and security. However, many crypto schemes are likely to collapse when a large qubit-based quantum computer is developed. In such a scenario, it is necessary to pay attention to the security alternatives based on quantum computing. Presently, the different factors of software durability are usability, dependability, trustworthiness, and human trust. In this study, we have also classified the durability level in the second stage. The intention of the evaluation of the impact on security over quantum duration is to estimate and assess the security durability of software. In this research investigation, we have followed the symmetrical hybrid technique of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and fuzzy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS). The obtained results, and the method used in this estimation, would make a significant contribution to future research for organising software security and durability (SSD) in the presence of a quantum computer.

Cybersecurity in the Age of Quantum Computing: Emerging Threats and Solutions

Christian Manna Guimma

As quantum computers advance, they will fundamentally change the ways the information systems that currently secure communications, financial systems, healthcare records, government databases and critical infrastructure are protected. Although quantum technologies offer great promise for future scientific endeavors and processing power, they also present new dangers for cybersecurity. This paper explores the threats that are emerging as a result of Quantum Computing, focusing on the vulnerability of popular public-key cryptographic methods like RSA, Diffie–Hellman and Elliptic Curve Cryptography. The study also delves into the consequences of "harvest now, decrypt later": Information encrypted today could be made available when sufficiently strong quantum computers are ready. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a thorough literature survey of scholarly works on quantum-safe security standards, international cybersecurity frameworks, and recent advancements in the field. It evaluates the readiness of organizations, governments and technology vendors to deal with the changing threats of quantum computing. The study also highlights emerging counter measures, such as post quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution, cryptographic agility, zero trust security architectures, and risk-based migration strategies to build long-term cyber resilience. The results indicate that while large-scale quantum computers are still being developed which could compromise current encryption systems, it is important to plan ahead and implement quantum-resistant technologies to mitigate future security risks. To achieve quantum-safe cybersecurity, a concerted effort is needed, involving a collaboration between policymakers, researchers, industry players and standardization organizations, to provide secure digital ecosystems. In the end, the paper argues that a blend of quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions and adaptive cybersecurity governance and continuous innovation will be a critical enabler in protecting information assets in the quantum era. The study will contribute to the existing body of work on quantum cybersecurity and provide insights into the challenges and opportunities of creating secure and future-proof cybersecurity systems.
