While its immense power holds promise for advancements in various fields, it also threatens to crack the foundation of current encryption methods. This analysis explores the impact of quantum computing on critical infrastructure and cloud services, meticulously evaluating potential vulnerabilities across various layers, including applications, data, runtime, middleware, operating systems, virtualization, hardware, storage, and networks. We advocate for proactive security strategies and collaboration between sectors to develop and implement quantum-resistant cryptography. This crucial shift necessitates a comprehensive approach, and the paper introduces a tailored security blueprint encompassing nine critical infrastructure components. This blueprint strengthens each area's defenses against potential quantum-induced cyber threats. Our strategic vulnerability and risk assessment equips stakeholders with the knowledge to navigate the complex quantum threat landscape. This empowers them to make informed decisions about design, implementation, and policy formulation, ultimately bolstering the resilience of critical infrastructure. In essence, this analysis not only forecasts quantum threats but also offers a sophisticated, actionable framework for fortifying infrastructure and cloud environments against the multifaceted challenges of the quantum era. This proactive approach will ensure continued data security and a thriving digital landscape in the years to come Subjects: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR) Cite as: arXiv:2404.10659 [cs.CR] (or arXiv:2404.10659v1 [cs.CR] for this version) https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2404.10659 Focus to learn more arXiv-issued DOI via DataCite Journal reference: Computers & Security, Volume 167, August 2026, 104917 Related DOI : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cose.2026.104917 Focus to learn more DOI(s) linking to related resources Submission history From: Yaser Baseri [ view email ] [v1] Tue, 16 Apr 2024 15:36:23 UTC (449 KB) Full-text links: Access Paper: View a PDF of the paper titled Cybersecurity in the Quantum Era: Assessing the Impact of Quantum Computing on Infrastructure, by Yaser Baseri and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) TeX Source view license Current browse context: cs.CR < prev | next > new | recent | 2024-04 Change to browse by: cs References & Citations NASA ADS Google Scholar Semantic Scholar export BibTeX citation Loading...
