The Future of Information Security: Integrating RSA Encryption, Blockchain Technology, and Quantum Key Distribution

EasyChair Preprint 14941

Abstract

As digital transformation accelerates across industries, the imperative for robust information security has never been greater. This paper explores the future of information security by integrating three pivotal technologies: RSA encryption, blockchain technology, and quantum key distribution (QKD). We analyze the strengths and weaknesses of RSA encryption in the context of emerging threats, particularly from quantum computing. The paper highlights how blockchain can enhance data integrity and transparency, serving as a decentralized ledger to secure transactions and communications. Additionally, we delve into the potential of QKD to provide unbreakable encryption through quantum mechanics, revolutionizing secure key exchange. By synthesizing these technologies, we propose a comprehensive security framework that addresses current vulnerabilities while anticipating future challenges. The findings suggest that a synergistic approach, combining the reliability of established cryptographic methods with the innovative capabilities of blockchain and QKD, can create a resilient security architecture poised to safeguard sensitive information in an increasingly interconnected world.
