ABSTRACT

This study proposes a hybrid cryptographic communication system that integrates PUF-based device authentication and PQC encryption to address the vulnerabilities of conventional public-key cryptography in the quantum computing environment. The proposed system features a three-layer architecture that combines SRAM PUF-based unique device identification with the Kyber-768 key exchange mechanism. Implemented in an embedded environment, the system was evaluated in terms of performance and resistance against various attack scenarios, demonstrating its practicality and security. Comparative analysis with RSA and ECC-based schemes showed superior processing speed and resource efficiency. These results suggest that the proposed hybrid system combining PUF and PQC can serve as a emerging alternative for IoT security in the era of quantum computing.
