A Systematic Review of Energy-Efficient, Secure, And Reliable Routing in Quantum-Based Wireless Sensor Networks

Kunuthuri Munthaz, Bontha Venkata Reddy

Abstract: Quantum-Based Wireless Sensor Networks (QWSNs) represent a promising evolution of traditional wireless sensor networks by integrating quantum communication principles to enhance data transmission security and reliability. This paper presents a systematic review of existing research on energy efficiency, secure communication, and reliable routing protocols in QWSNs. The study examines key advancements in quantum-based routing algorithms, energy optimization techniques, and cryptographic mechanisms that utilize quantum key distribution (QKD) for enhanced network security. Additionally, the review identifies major challenges, including scalability, resource constraints, and implementation complexity in real-world scenarios. By analyzing existing methodologies and highlighting research gaps, this work provides insights into potential directions for developing energy-efficient and secure routing frameworks in next-generation QWSNs. The findings emphasize the need for adaptive, lightweight, and quantum-compatible routing schemes to ensure sustainable and secure communication in future sensor network architectures. Keywords: Quantum-Based Wireless Sensor Networks (QWSNs); Energy Efficiency; Secure Routing; Quantum Key Distribution (QKD); Reliability; Cryptography; Network Optimization; Quantum Communication

Enhancing Wireless Sensor Network Security with Quantum-Enabled Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Sathish Krishna Anumula, Ranganath Nagesh Taware, Ohm Hareesh Kundurthy +3 more

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are systems made up of sensor nodes that communicate wirelessly over short distances, with adaptability and functionality at their coreessence. These networks have traits. Face challenges in devising effective strategies for identifying and thwarting attacks due to limitations, in individual sensor node processing power and the essence of wireless communication. Securing WSN poses a challenge given the constrained processing abilities of sensor nodes and the inherent nature of communication while facing various security threats that have emerged alongside the widespread adoption of these networks. To protect against these dangers it's crucial to put in place the security measures Encryption's key, to keeping data safe from unauthorized users Nevertheless not all encryption methods are equally strong as some are vulnerable Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is considered the best option due to its smaller key sizes offering strong security with efficiency in space and energy As technology advances conventional encryption techniques are seen as inadequate, for ensuring data privacy and security Utilizing principles from physics to ensure data transmission, between the sender and receiver is a groundbreaking advancement in network security known as quantum cryptography. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) combined with ECC is highlighted in this study, for authentication processes, key management and energy efficiency. A novel method called QKD ECC has been put into practice. Compared against ECC and other encryption methods to bolster the security of WSN and safeguard the confidentiality of data exchange.
