Cloud storage has gained extensive attention due to its low cost, global scalability, and improved agility. Data privacy is an important issue in cloud storage because breaches of personal information or business secrets are occurred by malicious hackers or unauthorized cloud operators. To address this issue, a Modified Key Sifting Scheme (MKSS) is proposed for developing an effective Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) with Two-Way Identity Authentication (TWIA) to provide security in the cloud storage. The Tree Parity Machine (TPM) is used for proposing a MKSS which used to minimize the key distribution time based on the synchronization. This MKSS-QKDTWIA considers four different objects such as data user, data owner, server and data storage in a communication scenario. The performance of the MKSS-QKDTWIA is analyzed by means of key computation time, processing time, encryption & decryption time, and memory utilization. Existing research such as Modified Random Fibonacci Cryptographic (MRFC), Software Stack-QKD (SS-QKD) and Enhanced Cloud Security Model based on QKD Protocol (ECSM-QKDP) are used to evaluate the performance of MKSS-QKDTWIA. The key computation time of MKSS-QKDTWIA for 50 attribute sets in each key is 16.7s which is less when compared to the MRFC, SS-QKD and ECSM-QKDP.

“…e quantum cryptography [20][21][22][23], which combines quantum computations with classical cryptography, uses laws of physics and quantum mechanics for secure exchange of information between the participating parties. A quantum key exchange or distribution algorithm [24][25][26][27][28][29] does not depend on the computationally hard nature of some mathematical problem. Rather, it uses the laws of quantum mechanics to provide unconditional security.…”

Many cryptographic techniques have been proposed to conceive a secure and privacy-oriented vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) for its practical deployment. The security of these techniques requires a common secret key to be shared between the communicating entities or depend upon the premise that some mathematical problems are computationally hard. However, because of the open nature of the wireless medium, the communication cannot be kept confidential and is prone to eavesdropping. Furthermore, with the arrival of quantum computers, these techniques are prone to quantum attacks—the time complexity of the assumed hard problem gets reduced from millions of years to a few seconds. In this paper, we propose a conditional privacy-preserving authentication scheme based on a quantum key distribution protocol for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. Our scheme inherits the properties of the quantum key distribution protocol. It does not require a secret authentication key to be transmitted conventionally and is resistant to quantum attacks. Apart from protecting VANETs against generic security threats, including node impersonation, message tampering, and repudiation, our scheme defends VANETs against man-in-the-middle attacks, replay attacks, etc. Besides, our protocol ensures message unlinkability, vehicle-identity privacy, and vehicle traceability if a vehicle misbehaves. The results obtained from the performance evaluation of our scheme confirm reasonable values of information leakage, key length, bit error probability, etc.

“…When this happens, their interconnection via a global quantum network, the Quantum Internet, will unlock further possibilities, such as blind QC and distributed QC [14]. Meanwhile, in a shorter term, the Quantum Internet will enable high-impact applications not related to computing, e.g., quantum sensing [8] and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) [7].…”

In the coming years, quantum networks will allow quantum applications to thrive thanks to the new opportunities offered by end-to-end entanglement of qubits on remote hosts via quantum repeaters. On a geographical scale, this will lead to the dawn of the Quantum Internet. While a full-blown deployment is yet to come, the research community is already working on a variety of individual enabling technologies and solutions. In this paper, with the guidance of extensive simulations, we take a broader view and investigate the problems of Quality of Service (QoS) and provisioning in the context of quantum networks, which are very different from their counterparts in classical data networks due to some of their fundamental properties. Our work leads the way towards a new class of studies that will allow the research community to better understand the challenges of quantum networks and their potential commercial exploitation.
