The growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has driven the evolution of smart cities that enable enhanced efficiency, sustainability, and citizen well-being. This chapter provides an in-depth strategy for the development and integration of lightweight post-quantum cryptography (PQC)-based protocols, especially for IoT devices within secure city infrastructures. The suggested architecture combines lattice-based key exchange (CRYSTALS-Kyber), lattice-based digital signatures (CRYSTALS-Dilithium), Grover-resistant symmetric encryption, and AI-powered intrusion detection. Key compression, signature aggregation, and adaptive security configurations are the added protocol improvements. This approach involves risk analysis, modeling, and performance evaluation (latency, energy, bandwidth, packet loss) and is significantly advanced over legacy RSA/ECC models, offering quantum-resilient security with efficiency for large-scale IoT networks.
