Abstract


In the modern era, safeguarding against cyber threats has become imperative for organizational security. With the evolution of technology, cybersecurity measures have grown in complexity, necessitating stringent protocols for defense. The military sector, influenced by technological advancements, faces coordination challenges amidst emerging threats targeting operational coherence. The advent of the Internet of Battlefields Things (IoBT) has introduced substantial advantages across diverse battlegrounds, demanding robust protocols for secure data transmission and management. This paper explores the integration of Quantum Technology with Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) to fortify IoBT networks, ensuring enhanced confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation. Quantum-enhanced mTLS leverages quantum key distribution (QKD) and post-quantum cryptography to thwart advanced cyber threats, including quantum computing-based attacks. This integration offers unprecedented security, mutual authentication, and data privacy, making it a pivotal solution for future-proofing IoBT networks against evolving cyber threats.
