Abstract

Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) networks with blockchain technology has introduced transformative potential for secure, decentralized applications. However, with expanding IoT networks and the rapid advancements in quantum computing, which can break the classical encryption mechanism employed in these networks, securing validator communications in blockchain consensus mechanisms becomes increasingly challenging. This study presents PureQuantum, a novel quantum-enhanced framework that integrates quantum key distribution (QKD) into a proof-of-authority and association (PoA2) consensus mechanism. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that PureQuantum achieves a key generation time of approximately 2.315s (BB84) and an average error rate of 0.2493, thereby ensuring robust resistance to classical and quantum computational threats. Exploring the architecture, design, and performance of PureQuantum, this concept highlights its ability to balance scalability, energy efficiency, and quantum-resilient security. By integrating QKD into validator communication protocols, PureQuantum provides a future-proof framework capable of supporting the demands of IoT-enabled decentralized systems.
