Cybersecurity in Critical Infrastructures: A Post-Quantum Cryptography Perspective

arXiv:2401.03780v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: The machinery of industrial environments was connected to the Internet years ago with the scope of increasing their performance. However, this change made such environments vulnerable against cyber-attacks that can compromise their correct functioning resulting in economic or social problems. Moreover, implementing cryptosystems in the communications between operational technology (OT) devices is a more challenging task than for information technology (IT) environments since the OT networks are generally composed of legacy elements, characterized by low-computational …
