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.

Deployment of Quantum-Safe Cryptographic Algorithms in Healthcare Cyber-Physical Systems for Protecting Sensitive Medical Data and Mitigating Post-Quantum Threats Through Robust Key Management Protocols

Arul Selvan M

The healthcare sector increasingly relies on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) that integrate medical devices, networks, and digital records to deliver critical patient care. Protecting sensitive medical data within these interconnected systems is vital due to potential privacy violations and safety risks. The initiation of quantum computing poses substantial threats to traditional cryptographic algorithms, which underpin current healthcare data security. This article examines the deployment of quantum-safe cryptographic algorithms considered to resist quantum attacks, enabling robust protection of healthcare CPS. It highlights advanced encryption methods including lattice-based, hash-based, and code-based post-quantum schemes, alongside quantum key distribution (QKD) for secure key management. The discussion includes challenges related to healthcare-specific system constraints, regulatory compliance, and integration complexity. Through adopting quantum-resistant cryptography and comprehensive key management protocols, healthcare organizations can safeguard electronic health records (EHRs), device communication, and patient data against incipient post-quantum threats, ensuring long-term data confidentiality, integrity, and system resilience.

Post-Quantum Cryptography for securing Electronic Health Records in the South African Public Healthcare System

Kabelo Given Chuma

The growing dependency on Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has intensified the exposure of sensitive patient information to advanced cybersecurity threats, including those posed by quantum computing technologies. South African public hospitals depend on conventional encryption mechanisms to secure EHRs; however, these methods are susceptible to quantum threats. The study explored quantum-resistant cryptography for securing EHRs in South African healthcare. The study adopted a phenomenological approach, employing semi-structured interviews with 12 ICT specialists, policymakers, health information managers and cybersecurity practitioners. The study established a misalignment between national digital health and cybersecurity strategies and future quantum threats, as they prioritise digital transformation, data security and interoperability. Public hospitals were found to be reliant on conventional encryption methods, resulting in structural lock-in and impeding adaptability of post-quantum cryptography. Although stakeholders demonstrated awareness of quantum threats, organisational readiness remains constrained by technical, institutional and capacity barriers. It is concluded that South African public healthcare system remains behind towards post-quantum security transformation. The study recommends the development of a roadmap for post-quantum cryptographic migration, system modernisations and capacity building to strengthen the security of EHRs. The findings provide evidence-based guidance for policymakers to strengthen digital health security and resilience of EHRs in public healthcare systems.
