Introduction

In recent years, there has been a growing concern regarding the security of industrial control systems (ICS). These systems are widely used in critical infrastructure, such as power plants, manufacturing plants, and transportation systems, making them potential targets for cyber attacks. One of the key challenges in securing ICS is the use of cryptographic algorithms that are vulnerable to quantum attacks. Quantum computing has the potential to break traditional cryptographic algorithms, posing a serious threat to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data transmitted over ICS networks.

This thesis aims to explore the concept of quantum-safe secure communication for industrial control systems. The research will investigate the current state of cryptographic algorithms used in ICS, analyze the potential impact of quantum computing on their security, and propose quantum-safe alternatives to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted over ICS networks.

Thesis Overview: Quantum-safe secure communication for industrial control systems

Industrial control systems (ICS) play a critical role in various sectors, including energy, manufacturing, and transportation. As these systems become more interconnected and digitized, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has become paramount. One of the key challenges facing ICS security is the vulnerability of traditional cryptographic algorithms to quantum attacks. Quantum computing has the potential to break widely used encryption schemes, posing a significant threat to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data transmitted over ICS networks.

This thesis aims to address this challenge by exploring the concept of quantum-safe secure communication for ICS. The research will investigate the current state of cryptographic algorithms used in ICS, analyze the potential impact of quantum computing on their security, and propose quantum-safe alternatives to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted over ICS networks. The study will also explore the implementation challenges of quantum-safe cryptography in ICS and provide recommendations for securing ICS using quantum-safe algorithms.

Through a comprehensive literature review, research methodology, and discussion of findings, this thesis will contribute to the field of cybersecurity by providing insights into the potential threats posed by quantum computing to ICS security and offering practical recommendations for mitigating these risks. The findings of this research will be of interest to policymakers, industry practitioners, and researchers working in the field of ICS security.
