Abstract

Bacterial networks-based novel healthcare applications integrated with the Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) have been on the rise, particularly due to their high efficacy in delivering drugs at targeted sites. Nevertheless, these networks are vulnerable to various cyber security risks such as unauthorized access, data tampering, and malicious attacks from internal and external intruders. By leveraging the property of quantum entanglement, we propose a security protocol, QBaN, to detect and thwart security breaches posed by intruders and securely send the information to the intended receiver. We use the von Neumann entropy metric to detect changes in the entangled quantum states. We evaluate the QBaN’s capability of detecting eavesdropping events by varying threshold values. Simulation results demonstrate the protocol’s efficacy in intrusion detection with an AUC of 0.78 on the ROC curve. The energy consumption for quantum entanglement is approximately 66.82% and 98.86% less than that for the bacterial propagation and DNA replication, respectively.

量子细菌纳米网络用于安全分子通信

基于细菌网络的新型医疗保健应用与生物纳米物联网（IoBNT）相集成，特别是由于其在向目标部位递送药物方面的高效性，这种应用正在不断增加。然而，这些网络容易受到各种网络安全风险的影响，例如未经授权的访问、数据篡改以及来自内部和外部入侵者的恶意攻击。通过利用量子纠缠的特性，我们提出了一种名为 QBaN 的安全协议，用于检测和挫败入侵者造成的安全漏洞，并将信息安全地发送给预期接收者。我们使用冯-诺依曼熵度量来检测纠缠量子态的变化。我们通过改变阈值来评估 QBaN 检测窃听事件的能力。仿真结果表明了该协议在入侵检测方面的功效，其 ROC 曲线上的 AUC 为 0.78。量子纠缠的能耗分别比细菌传播和 DNA 复制低约 66.82% 和 98.86%。

期刊介绍： As a result of recent advances in MEMS/NEMS and systems biology, as well as the emergence of synthetic bacteria and lab/process-on-a-chip techniques, it is now possible to design chemical “circuits”, custom organisms, micro/nanoscale swarms of devices, and a host of other new systems. This success opens up a new frontier for interdisciplinary communications techniques using chemistry, biology, and other principles that have not been considered in the communications literature. The IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications (T-MBMSC) is devoted to the principles, design, and analysis of communication systems that use physics beyond classical electromagnetism. This includes molecular, quantum, and other physical, chemical and biological techniques; as well as new communication techniques at small scales or across multiple scales (e.g., nano to micro to macro; note that strictly nanoscale systems, 1-100 nm, are outside the scope of this journal). Original research articles on one or more of the following topics are within scope: mathematical modeling, information/communication and network theoretic analysis, standardization and industrial applications, and analytical or experimental studies on communication processes or networks in biology. Contributions on related topics may also be considered for publication. Contributions from researchers outside the IEEE’s typical audience are encouraged.
