Energy-Aware System-Level Evaluation of Post-Quantum TLS on Embedded User Equipment over a Disaggregated 5G Network
Sanzida Hoque, Abdullah Aydeger
The transition to quantum-resistant security is a critical priority for the next generation of mobile networks, particularly within the disaggregated architecture of 5G. This paper…
LNTest: A Testbed for Evaluating Bitcoin Lightning Network-Based Botnets
Thomas Bakaysa, Ahmet Kurt, Abdul-Salem Beibitkhan +6
Bitcoin's Lightning Network (LN) can be exploited as a covert, low-cost command-and-control (C&C) channel for botnets, as demonstrated by the LNBot and D-LNBot designs. However, bo…
Analysis of Post-Quantum Cryptography in User Equipment in 5G and Beyond
Sanzida Hoque, Abdullah Aydeger, Engin Zeydan +1
The advent of quantum computing threatens the security of classical public-key cryptographic systems, prompting the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). While PQC has bee…
Quantum-Resistant Domain Name System: A Comprehensive System-Level Study
Juyoul Lee, Sanzida Hoque, Abdullah Aydeger +1
The Domain Name System (DNS) plays a foundational role in Internet infrastructure, yet its core protocols remain vulnerable to compromise by quantum adversaries. As cryptographical…
Quantum Technologies for Beyond 5G and 6G Networks: Applications, Opportunities, and Challenges
Engin Zeydan, Chamitha De Alwis, Rabia Khan +4
As the world prepares for the advent of 6G networks, quantum technologies are becoming critical enablers of the next generation of communication systems. This survey paper investig…
Analysis of Robust and Secure DNS Protocols for IoT Devices
Abdullah Aydeger, Sanzida Hoque, Engin Zeydan +1
The DNS (Domain Name System) protocol has been in use since the early days of the Internet. Although DNS as a de facto networking protocol had no security considerations in its ear…
