Advances in Post-Quantum Cryptography and Quantum-Resilient Networks

The field of post-quantum cryptography is rapidly advancing, with a focus on developing secure and efficient cryptosystems that can resist attacks from quantum computers. Recent research has led to the development of novel post-quantum cryptosystems, such as those based on high-memory masked convolutional codes, which offer stronger cryptographic security and greater flexibility. Additionally, there have been significant advancements in the development of quantum-resilient networks, including the introduction of quantum-secure 5G and Beyond 5G (B5G) Core frameworks. These frameworks utilize NIST-standardized lattice-based algorithms to provide a clear pathway for transitioning both the 5G Core Network Functions and User Equipment (UE) to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Noteworthy papers include the introduction of Q-RAN, a comprehensive quantum-resistant security framework for O-RAN networks, and QORE, a quantum-secure 5G and B5G Core framework that provides a clear pathway for transitioning to PQC. The paper on high memory masked convolutional codes presents a novel post-quantum cryptosystem with stronger cryptographic security and greater flexibility. The paper on deterministic hardness of approximation of Unique-SVP and GapSVP in ℓp norms for p>2 establishes deterministic hardness of approximation results for the Shortest Vector Problem in ℓp norm.
