QANBDG — Quantum-Adaptive Neural-Blockchain Defense Grid A Post-Quantum Autonomic Reference Architecture for Sovereign Defense and Classified Critical National Infrastructure Security
Abstract
QANBDG — Final Ultimate Edition (Clean Zenodo Description) Quantum-Adaptive Neural-Blockchain Defense Grid (QANBDG) A Post-Quantum, Autonomic Reference Architecture for Sovereign Defense and Classified Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) Security Abstract (Authoritative Description) The Quantum-Adaptive Neural-Blockchain Defense Grid (QANBDG) presents an advanced, defence-only, post-quantum reference architecture for protecting classified, sovereign-scale, and high-value Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) against emerging quantum-era, AI-driven, and hybrid cyber threats. QANBDG integrates NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography, federated neuro-symbolic artificial intelligence, permissioned blockchain-based veracity mechanisms, and large-scale cyber twin simulation into a unified autonomic defensive framework. The architecture is explicitly designed for long-horizon cryptographic resilience, zero-trust operational assurance, and legally bounded sovereign deployment. This work is intended as a policy, research, and strategic reference architecture, not as an operational cyber-weapon system, offensive platform, or commercial security product. Core Architectural Innovations Post-Quantum Cryptographic Foundation The architecture is grounded in NIST-finalized post-quantum cryptographic standards, including: ML-KEM-1024 (FIPS 203) for quantum-resistant key establishment ML-DSA-87 (FIPS 204) for post-quantum digital signatures Falcon-based signatures (FIPS 205) for…
