Quantum Cryptography and Annealing for Securing Industrial IoT explores cutting-edge quantum security strategies designed to protect Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platforms. Focusing on the convergence between quantum and post-quantum cryptography, the book delves into practical implementations that safeguard IIoT devices and strengthen infrastructure. With the proliferation of interconnected systems in modern industry, the need for robust security has never been more urgent. The authors emphasize real-world applications, offering readers actionable insights into how quantum cryptosystems are integrated within IIoT environments to counter emerging threats, particularly those posed by quantum computing advancements.

Beyond its focus on practical solutions, the book provides a thorough analysis of IIoT hardware resilience, addressing vulnerabilities to physical and side-channel attacks. It evaluates the performance of quantum cryptosystems and discusses how interdisciplinary teams collaborate to engineer secure IIoT systems. Balancing theory with application, the authors highlight challenges faced in implementing quantum cryptographic principles and present innovative approaches to overcome them.
