LR-WebPKI

LR+ WebPKI Evaluation Artifact This package contains the finalized LR+ reference implementation, production reconstruction wrappers, tests, and generated evaluation outputs for context-closed post-quantum authentication over WebPKI CA context. The package is intentionally written as a submission...

Quantum-Based Solutions for Security Enhancement in Open Radio Access Networks

Open Radio Access Networks O-RAN introduce unprecedented flexibility, interoperability, and intelligence into next-generation wireless systems, but their disaggregated and software-defined architecture also expands the attack surface and creates new security vulnerabilities. Conventional...

Experimental Side Channel Analysis of Protocol Stages in Quantum Identity Authentication

Quantum networks can enable distributed computing and sensing. To realize these capabilities securely, quantum identity authentication is essential. Without authentication at the quantum layer, malicious repeaters may retain entanglement instead of performing swapping, enabling man-in-the-middle...

Authentication in Quantum Networks

In this review, we survey the cryptographic task of authentication from the perspective of quantum communication. We review three main flavours of authentication that are often conflated in the literature: authentication of classical messages, authentication of quantum messages, and entity...

Quantum Skyshield: Quantum Key Distribution and Post-Quantum Authentication for Low-Altitude Wireless Networks in Adverse Skies

Recently, low-altitude wireless networks LAWNs have emerged as a critical backbone for supporting the low-altitude economy, particularly with the densification of unmanned aerial vehicles UAVs and high-altitude platforms HAPs. To meet growing data demands, some LAWN deployments incorporate...

Public-Key Quantum Authentication and Digital Signature Schemes Based on the QMA-Complete Problem

We propose a quantum authentication and digital signature protocol whose security is founded on the Quantum Merlin ArthurQMA-completeness of the consistency of local density matrices. The protocol functions as a true public-key cryptography system, where the public key is a set of local density...
