Abstract
Techniques for encrypting data within a 5G Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) includes receiving, at a first module of the 5G O-RAN, a first set of one or more data packets encrypted using mathematical encryption. The method also includes determining, using a machine-learning model trained to detect cybersecurity threats, the existence of a cybersecurity threat associated with the voice or data transaction, and in response, determining to switch encryption from the mathematical encryption to quantum encryption. The method further includes encrypting the one or more data packets using a quantum encryption key to generate quantum-encrypted data packets, transmitting the quantum encryption key from the first module of the 5G O-RAN core to a second module of the 5G O-RAN over a quantum key distribution (QKD) channel, and transmitting the quantum-encrypted data packets from the first module of the 5G O-RAN to the second module of the 5G O-RAN.
