Layer 3 -- Network Layer
Components
📍 Gateway Interface (GI)
📍 Classical-quantum network interfaces
Quantum Threats
Quantum Routing Attacks
Manipulating routing tables or quantum addresses to redirect or drop quantum packets
Spoofing Attacks
Impersonating a quantum node or gateway to intercept or alter data.
Quantum Firewall Evasion
Using quantum superposition or entanglement to bypass classical network security measures.
Post-Quantum Cryptography Breaches
If classical encryption is used at the gateway, quantum computers can break RSA, ECC, or other public-key cryptosystems
