Quantum Security for IoT to Secure Healthcare Applications and Their Data

Abstract

Quantum computation has the ability to revolutionize the treatment of patients. Quantum computing can help to detect diseases by identifying and forecasting malfunctions. But there's a threat associated here (i.e., healthcare data among the most popular cybercriminal targets, IoT devices notoriously lacking in effective safeguards, and quantum computers on the brink of an encryption/decryption breakthrough). Health agencies need a security prognosis and treatment plan as soon as possible. Healthcare companies recently worry more about the quantum security threats. The biggest threat of healthcare data breaches has come in the form of identity theft. There should be a strong mechanism to combat the security gaps in existing healthcare industry. If the healthcare data are available on the network, an attacker may try to modify, intercept, or even view this data stream. With the use of quantum security, the quantum state of these photons changes alert the security pros that someone is trying to breach the link.

Rough Entanglement: Not Enough Fourier

“…Therefore, rough entanglement does not seek to replace the original versions of entanglement (maximally and nonmaximally), but to complement them to better understand this fascinating phenomenon of current Physics, and in this way take advantage of its virtues so that it can be exploited with the greatest success in applications, such as quantum cryptography, [8] in particular, QSDC, [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] and QKD; [9][10][11][12] and quantum communications, [7] in particular, quantum teleportation, [21,[41][42][43][44] with a marked commitment to the future quantum Internet. [13][14][15][16][17][18] Finally, the act of finishing characterizing this very peculiar phenomenon of Physics called entanglement, understanding first that it has intermediate instances, and second the springs that connect those instances with quantum communications protocols already established in the literature, is not a minor issue, for which the deepening of this study is provided in future works.…”

“…[7] Besides, this seems to be positioned as the most promissory protocol due to the terrestrial implementations of QKD techniques. Fiber optic cabling for terrestrial implementations of QKD protocols [8] requires quantum repeaters every certain number of kilometers, [19,20] which in turn requires a large amount of quantum memory. The problem is that the key is exposed in its passage through them.…”

“…being the elements of its main diagonal (associated with their respective computational basis states), i.e., those recovered by Bob In all cases, a teleportation based on the distribution of roughly-entangled particles requires post-processing, although as we will see in the following implementations, the resulting fidelities are similar to those obtained in a traditional teleportation. [3][4][5][6] We must bear in mind that the central idea around this new type of entanglement is not to displace the maximally or nonmaximally entangled states or to compete with them, but rather to complement them, in order to thicken the knowledge we have of this fascinating Physics phenomenon called entanglement, so as to master it to obtain better protocols of quantum communications, [7,[38][39][40] and quantum cryptography, [8][9][10][11][12][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] with a strong commitment to the future quantum Internet.

“…[1] This powerful tool has been consolidated over the years in such critical applications as phase estimation, within the most famous quantum algorithm in the literature, the Shor algorithm. [2] In recent years, it has been shown that QFT is a key piece in the same constitution of quantum entanglement, [3][4][5][6] which is why the latter has two complementary facets, a temporal facet, traditionally known, [1] and another spectral, [3][4][5][6] which will lead to the creation of future algorithms and protocols with higher performance to be used in quantum communications, [7] in general, and quantum cryptography, [8] in particular.…”

“…[3][4][5][6] These applications have a marked projection on the quantum key distribution (QKD) [9][10][11][12] protocols, although their greatest contribution is expected to happen in the field of the future quantum Internet. [13][14][15][16][17][18] Specifically, in the quantum cryptography [8] context, fiber optic cabling for terrestrial implementations of QKD protocols [9][10][11][12] requires quantum repeaters every certain number DOI: 10.1002/qute.202200176 of kilometers, [19,20] which in turn requires a large amount of quantum memory. The problem is that the key is exposed in its passage through them.…”
