Quantum Security System in Telecommunication Networks (Phase 1)

Quantum computing represents a disruptive paradigm shift that threatens the security of current telecommunications networks, which rely on cryptographic algorithms like RSA and ECC. These systems are vulnerable to the computational power of quantum computers, putting the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information in critical infrastructures such as banking and the internet at risk. This project proposes the development of a network architecture resistant to quantum attacks, based on principles of quantum mechanics and advanced techniques such as Quantum Machine Learning (QML) and post-quantum cryptography. The methodology includes a systematic literature review, the design of a secure architecture, its implementation in simulated environments and controlled prototypes, and a rigorous performance evaluation. The expected impact is the creation of a solid foundation for the security of next-generation networks (NGN), protecting data against future computational threats and contributing to the development of a secure quantum internet. Results will be disseminated through academic publications and conferences, strengthening research capacity in cybersecurity.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>Develop a next-generation telecommunications network architecture that integrates post-quantum algorithms to strengthen communication security against quantum threats.
