Abstract: [0027] A quantum-resistant three-factor authentication and key agreement protocol for 6G-enabled smart home environments is disclosed. The protocol integrates CRYSTALS-Kyber Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) with AEGIS Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) and Chebyshev chaotic map-based identity management. This system establishes cryptographically secure, post-quantum resistant sessions between a remote user terminal, a centralized gateway node, and resource-constrained smart home devices. It provides quantum-safe session key material, lightweight authenticated encryption, and dynamic anonymous identities for user untraceability. The architecture minimizes device storage overhead to 48 bytes per device, enabling deployment on resource- constrained hardware. The protocol resists quantum adversaries using Shor's and Grover's algorithms and addresses harvest-now- decrypt-later attacks. [FIG. 1, FIG. 2]
