Role of Quantum Communication Protocols in Enabling High-Security Predictive Healthcare Systems

N Sowmya, Sachin P. Patil

The integration of quantum communication protocols into cloud-based healthcare systems promises to revolutionize the way sensitive medical data was transmitted, stored, and accessed. As healthcare organizations increasingly rely on cloud infrastructures to manage vast amounts of patient data, the security of this information becomes paramount. Quantum communication offers unprecedented levels of security, utilizing quantum key distribution (QKD) and entanglement-based methods to protect data from interception and unauthorized access. This chapter explores the critical role of quantum communication protocols in securing cloud-based healthcare systems, focusing on the challenges and opportunities presented by quantum technologies. It examines the need for robust encryption methods to protect sensitive medical data and ensure privacy compliance in the face of evolving cyber threats. The chapter also discusses hybrid quantum-classical systems, which combine the benefits of both quantum and classical protocols to enhance scalability and efficiency in cloud environments. Additionally, the limitations of current quantum hardware, such as photon loss and decoherence, are addressed, along with strategies to mitigate these challenges. The importance of training healthcare professionals and cloud engineers in quantum communication technologies was also emphasized to ensure effective implementation and ongoing maintenance of secure healthcare infrastructures. By highlighting the transformative potential of quantum communication for predictive healthcare models, this chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the future of healthcare security in the cloud.

AQ-ResCon: Adaptive Quantum-Resistant Lattice-Based Key Agreement Protocol for Secure Distributed Container Orchestration in Edge Cloud Environments

Sajida Memon, Abdullah Raza Lakhan, Quratual Ain Masoi

In the rapidly evolving domain of smart healthcare, the integration of Docker containers and Kubernetes with Internet of Things (IoT) edge cloud orchestration has significantly enhanced the performance, scalability, and modularity of healthcare applications. However, despite the efficiency benefits provided by microservices architecture, substantial security vulnerabilities persist, particularly in the face of the threat of quantum computing. Quantum algorithms, such as Shor’s and Grover’s, pose a significant risk to conventional encryption schemes, potentially compromising the integrity and confidentiality of healthcare data distributed across edge cloud environments. To address these critical concerns, we propose AQ-ResCon: an Adaptive Quantum-Resistant Lattice-Based Key Agreement Protocol designed for secure and resilient distributed container orchestration. AQ-ResCon leverages the hardness of the Learning With Errors (LWE) problem in lattice-based cryptography to provide a robust defence against quantum attacks. We further introduce the AQ-ResCon Scheduler Algorithm, which efficiently manages and executes healthcare workloads across decentralised IoT-edge-cloud nodes, ensuring secure data flow and orchestration. Extensive testbed experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance and security effectiveness of AQ-ResCon under realistic containerised healthcare scenarios. Results demonstrate that AQ-ResCon achieves up to 36% improvement in scheduling efficiency, 41% reduction in key compromise rates, and 28% lower latency compared to existing quantum-vulnerable orchestration protocols. Additionally, the AQ-ResCon protocol maintained consistent performance under simulated quantum attack conditions, validating its adaptability and resilience. These outcomes confirm that AQ-ResCon is a viable, secure, and future-proof solution for safeguarding microservices-based healthcare applications against evolving quantum threats in edge cloud environments.

Quantum‐Resistant Security in Digital Twin Healthcare Systems

Ahmed K. Jameil, Hamed Saffa Al-Raweshidy

ABSTRACT The development of digital twin (DT) systems for healthcare presents several challenges, particularly in ensuring data protection and communication security in real‐time environments. The protection of patient information in the case of future quantum‐powered attacks is one of the key issues, with traditional public‐key cryptography tools being likely to be weakened in the context of the huge quantum computers. The objective of this research was to come up with a quantum‐resistant security system to DT‐based remote healthcare monitoring. With quantum‐safe session key establishment with QKD or lattice‐based postquantum interactions, along with symmetric authenticated encryption, secure far‐edge, near‐edge and cloud data transfer and processing was guaranteed. The results revealed a 40% reduction in latency, a 30% improvement in throughput and a 15% increase in system efficiency, demonstrating substantial enhancements in performance. The integration of quantum‐resistant protocols provided robust protection without compromising system operation, achieving a 25.77% improvement in computational efficiency. The proposed framework significantly enhances the security, scalability and performance of remote healthcare systems, offering a future‐proof solution against quantum computing threats.
