Feasibility discussion of quantum cryptography for Internet of Things security: a literature review

Abstract As the consequences of Internet of Things (IoT) failures may be severe, research on IoT security issues is of great significance. It is a fact that the increasing number of IoT devices brings security concerns. Encryption measures to address these emerging and growing security problems have been studied. Encryption methods have been seen primarily in the field of quantum cryptography. According to this advanced modern cryptography technique, their advantages and disadvantages are discussed and analyzed. This literature review is committed to providing solutions for IoT security problems with quantum cryptography techniques when questioning their feasibility. Some possible future research directions are proposed.
