Abstract: Quantum-Secure Communication Protocol Using Post-Quantum Cryptography Algorithms is the proposed invention. The invention disclosed in the present disclosure is a quantum-safe communication protocol, applying standardised post-quantum cryptography to secure digital communications against classical and quantum computing attacks. The protocol uses Module Lattice Based Key Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM) for post-quantum key establishment and Module Lattice Based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA) for authentication and message integrity. A cryptographic agility engine dynamically negotiates and manages cryptographic suites, enabling seamless migration to newer post-quantum algorithms without disruption to the communication services. Session keys are derived securely and used with authenticated symmetric encryption to provide confidentiality, integrity and forward secrecy. A continuous monitoring module detects replay attacks, packet tampering, abnormal communication behavior, and key compromise, automatically initiating secure key rotation and protocol reconfiguration when required. The proposed protocol enhances long-term cybersecurity, supports hybrid deployment with existing infrastructures, minimizes migration complexity, and provides scalable quantum-resistant protection for cloud computing, IoT, healthcare, financial systems, defense communications, and next-generation 5G/6G network environments.
