While one of the promises of the upcoming 5G/6G systems is to offer increased performance in terms of coverage and performance, there is a major effort in integrating millions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices into Next Generation Networks (NextG). As there will be more and more connected devices per capabilities of NextG systems, the attack surface for cyberthreats arising from both classical and quantum computers will also be expanded. More importantly, as the progress in building quantum computers is becoming more realistic, it is prudent to adapt end-to-end quantum-resistant security protocols into the NextG systems as they get designed and deployed for data in-transit and at-rest. This project will integrate concepts from quantum-safe device level security, wireless networking, security management and network evaluation in ways that have not been studied before. Major project activities include the following: (i) investigation of quantum-safe cryptography algorithms for the IoT devices deployed in NextG systems, (ii) efficient quantum-safe certificate management in NextG systems, and (iii) end-to-end deployment and evaluations of quantum-safe cryptography in NextG systems. Potential outcomes will focus on bringing significant benefits to society as the project will increase the security of everyday connections against the attacks from sponsored attackers with future access to quantum computers benefiting both defense and commercial entities. This project will also offer training opportunities for under-represented students to conduct quantum-cryptographic research on a real-life 5G testbed.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

虽然即将到来的5G/6G系统的承诺之一是在覆盖范围和性能方面提供性能提高，但在将数百万物联网（IoT）设备集成到下一代网络（NextG）的情况下，仍在进行重大努力。由于NextG系统的人均设备将越来越多，因此也将扩展由经典计算机和量子计算机引起的网络危机的攻击表面。更重要的是，随着构建量子计算机的进度变得越来越现实，谨慎的态度是将端到端量子量子的安全协议调整到NextG系统中，因为它们被设计和部署以用于传输和正式的数据。该项目将以尚未研究的方式从量子安全设备级别的安全性，无线网络，安全管理和网络评估中整合概念。主要项目活动包括以下内容：（i）调查Nextg系统中部署的IoT设备的量子安全加密算法，（ii）Nextg Systems中有效的量子安全证书，以及（iii）端到端部署和（iii） NEXTG系统中量子安全加密的评估。潜在的结果将集中在为社会带来巨大的利益，因为该项目将提高日常联系的安全性，以抵抗赞助攻击者的攻击，并将未来访问量子计算机访问，从而使国防和商业实体都受益。该项目还将为代表性不足的学生提供培训机会，以对现实生活中的5G测试台进行量子限制研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响评论来通过评估来支持的。标准。
