The constant evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept involves the idea that all elements in the global network communication are reachable without the need for human intervention. In this context, the paramount concern is security, aiming to safeguard IoT communication against unauthorized access. According to the analysis, the security of the IoT communication framework relies on traditional cryptographic schemes like the RSA algorithm. Nevertheless, the latest developments in quantum computing and information processing pose a significant threat to these established schemes. Motivated by this fact, in this article, we proposed a novel quantum authentication and key agreement (QAKA) protocol that provides unconditional security against any classical and futuristic quantum threats. Our protocol ensures secure key agreement and mutual authentication based on quantum hashing with quantum passwords and quantum key distribution. The proposed scheme utilizes quantum teleportation and Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states for secure data transfer among entities. Our work is simulated using the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications tool to prove our protocol's formal correctness and security. The Burrows, Abadi, and Needham logic is applied to prove the goal of our protocol. Random oracle model for formal security analysis is presented in our work. Our protocol is also informally analyzed, considering the characteristics such as correctness, security against repudiation and the impossibility of cloning. The proposed protocol is compared with the related protocols in terms of various security features such as replay attacks, man‐in‐middle attacks and futuristic quantum attacks. Finally, the performance of the proposed protocol is presented, revealing superior efficacy when compared with classical authentication schemes and quantum protocols.

“…In order to deal with these attacks and to protect the identity of the users, authentication and access control mechanisms play a vital role (Lohachab and Karambir, 2018). Whereas authentication helps in verifying the identity of the user, access control mechanisms provide access to the resources based on the privileges given to the users.…”

With exploding growth in information technology (IT), numerous services and applications having enhanced capabilities are coming into picture with an aim to serve the users. Internet of things (IoT) along with its enabling cutting-edge technologies is establishing a scenario where these services can be utilised effectively. However, with large number of users and applications, it becomes challenging to safeguard the identifying information being transmitted to provide access to these services. This paper presents a refined version of an integrated attribute-based access control and authentication mechanism using smart cards for cloud-based IoT applications. System-wide attributes not only restrict the users to access the remote cloud services, but also ensure user anonymity. We also implement the proposed mechanism on ACPT and AVISPA tool for its validation and to verify its correctness. Moreover, we present an analysis of its security and performance efficiency on the basis of different parameters.

Over the last decade, there has been an exponential growth in high-performance computing. Computing such as cloud and fog computing is gaining popularity, whereas, Cloud computing is a computing organization where a large number of systems are connected to the internet for application, data, and storage services. Quantum computing is the use of quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation. In this paper, we describe the basic concept, history of quantum computing and development in network and cryptography, and future game design based on quantum. Specifically, we present the latest development in quantum networking and cryptography. Finally, we discuss the current research solutions and open issues for future research in quantum computing.
