Research abstract

This project addresses the Department of the Air Force's (DAF) critical need to enhance secure communications in response to evolving cyber threats, particularly the emerging threat of quantum computing from near-peer adversaries. This initiative aims to rapidly deploy a resilient infrastructure capable of supporting agile combat operations while safeguarding critical military data by developing a next-generation secure VPN network incorporating post-quantum encryption and zero-trust security principles. This endeavor will significantly bolster the DAF's capacity to maintain operational superiority in contested environments by ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of essential communication channels.
