QuantumGuard: A Post-Quantum Resilient Deception-Driven Framework for Proactive Threat Hunting and Cognitive Honeynet Orchestration in 6G-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems

The study proposes QuantumGuard, a proactive cybersecurity framework that combines cognitive honeynets, post-quantum-secured intelligence channels and reinforcement-learning-driven deception adaptation across 6G-enabled cyber-physical environments. The authors aim to integrate a cognitive honeynet orchestrator, a deception policy engine operating under partial observability, a transformer-based MITRE ATT&CK attribution network and a post-quantum federated intelligence bus into a single closed-loop control architecture, and they report a preliminary evaluation on benchmark datasets and a 320-endpoint testbed.

What we know

The study proposes QuantumGuard, a proactive cybersecurity framework that combines cognitive honeynets, post-quantum-secured intelligence channels and reinforcement-learning-driven deception adaptation across 6G-enabled cyber-physical environments. The authors aim to integrate a cognitive honeynet orchestrator, a deception policy engine operating under partial observability, a transformer-based MITRE ATT&CK attribution network and a post-quantum federated intelligence bus into a single closed-loop control architecture, and they report a preliminary evaluation on benchmark datasets and a 320-endpoint testbed.

Evidence limits

Review limited to the Crossref-deposited abstract; the full text was not examined and the results were not independently validated, and the authors themselves describe the figures as preliminary evidence of operational viability rather than fully characterized performance bounds.

Reviewed: author abstract. Full-text results were not analyzed.
