Symmetric–Asymmetric Security Synergy: A Quantum-Resilient Hybrid Blockchain Framework for Incognito IoT Data Sharing

Secure and auditable data sharing in large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) environments remains a significant challenge due to weak trust coordination, limited scalability, and susceptibility to emerging quantum attacks. This study introduces a hybrid blockchain-based framework that integrates post-quantum cryptography with intelligent anomaly detection to ensure end-to-end data integrity and resilience. The proposed system utilizes Hyperledger Fabric for permissioned device lifecycle management and Ethereum for public auditability of encrypted telemetry, thereby providing both private control and transparent verification. Device identities are established using quantum-entropy-seeded credentials and safeguarded with lattice-based encryption to withstand quantum adversaries. A convolutional long short-term memory (CNN–LSTM) model continuously monitors device behavior, facilitating real-time trust scoring and autonomous revocation via smart contract triggers. Experimental results demonstrate 97.4% anomaly detection accuracy and a 0.968 F1-score, supporting up to 1000 transactions per second with cross-chain latency below 6 s. These findings indicate that the proposed architecture delivers scalable, quantum-resilient, and computationally efficient data sharing suitable for mission-critical IoT deployments.
