Post-Quantum Cryptography Based Authentication Framework for Next Generation Networks

Gauri Agarwal, Dr Gaurav Agarwal

The emergence of quantum computing is expected to break many conventional cryptographic algorithms currently used for authentication and secure communication. Existing security mechanisms in Next Generation Networks (NGNs), including 5G, IoT, smart healthcare, and cloud-based systems, are increasingly vulnerable to future quantum attacks. This research presents a lightweight and efficient Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) based authentication framework specifically designed for next generation network environments. The proposed framework combines quantum-resistant cryptographic techniques with optimized authentication procedures to provide secure identity verification, confidential communication, and attack resistance with minimal computational complexity. The model emphasizes reduced overhead, faster authentication response, and scalability for resource-constrained devices. Security analysis shows that the framework can effectively defend against replay attacks, impersonation attacks, session hijacking, and quantum-based cryptanalytic threats. Experimental evaluation indicates that the proposed approach achieves improved security performance while maintaining low latency and reduced resource consumption, making it suitable for practical deployment in future intelligent communication networks.

POST-QUANTUM IDENTITY MESH FOR AUTONOMOUS 5G, IOT, AND NATIONAL CONNECTIVITY SYSTEMS: IMPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE-RESILIENT DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Shiva Kumara

Next-generation communication technologies such as fifth-generation (5G) wireless telecommunications systems enable the expansion of digital connectivity across commercial, industrial, and national infrastructure; as a result, an explosive increase in the use of the Internet of Things (IoT). In these highly distributed, autonomous environments, secure, scalable, and interoperable identity management systems are needed to provide authentication, authorization, and access control (AAA) for billions of devices and users. Centralized identity management frameworks have critical vulnerabilities due to their reliance on centralized architectures and traditional cryptographic algorithms. Vulnerabilities include susceptibility to quantum attacks, single points of failure, and cross-domain interoperability issues. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) provides quantum-resilient security and Identity Mesh Architectures (IMAs) create decentralized and distributed identity management frameworks that support autonomous and cross-domain deployments. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of PQC-IMAs through an examination of PQC, the IMA, security implications, deployment challenges, and future research directions. PQC-IMA integration allows for the creation of identity management systems that remain secure, resilient, and fault-tolerant when deployed in nationwide, large-scale 5G telecommunications networks and IoT systems. The solutions described in this paper can meet the challenges posed by the emerging Quantum Era and achieve operational efficiencies in connection ecosystems that are growing more and more complex and interconnected.
