Quantum-Resilient System Architectures: Designing Secure Infrastructure for Next-Generation Computing

There's a lot of hope that, with quantum computing, the future can look much brighter and be focused on solving a lot of complex issues we face in modern society. The power to give and manipulate information with quantum systems can be game-changing for fields such as secure data transfer, unmanageable optimization, drug discovery in medical applications, and certain facets of artificial intelligence. Algorithms over the discouraging search spaces would be able to break existing encryption, and significant progress has been achieved in algorithmic attacks on both secret key (cryptographic hashes and message authentication codes) and public key systems. A thorough survey is required so that the state-of-the-art quantum resilient theoretical and experimental methods and models may be understood from academia as well as from industry, and new directions which need to be promoted are suggested. It is important to investigate the possible security threats, challenges, impact and risk factors introduced by the integration of quantum computing in application systems, middleware, quantum system core components networks and cloud services critical infrastructures standards and regulation.
