Abstract

Advancements in vehicular communication systems, particularly within the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), demand secure, efficient, and scalable cryptographic solutions. As vehicular networks evolve toward quantum-resistant architectures, integrating quantum computing principles—focusing on semiconductor-based qubits—offers promising pathways for enhanced cybersecurity. This work explores the application of lightweight cryptography, specifically the ASCON algorithm, to protect vehicular communications, while addressing the emerging needs for post-quantum security. The proposed hybrid framework combines ASCON with quantum-proof key exchange protocols, ensuring compatibility with semiconductor qubit architectures. Designed for microelectronics, this approach provides resilience against key threats, achieving rapid key generation in the microsecond range. Emphasizing the integration of quantum and microelectronic technologies, this study presents a practical method for embedding quantum-secure cryptography into intelligent transportation systems, bridging current microelectronic designs with future quantum infrastructures.
