Abstract With the advent of smart homes, smart cities, and smart everything, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as an area of incredible impact, potential, and growth. Internet of Things date security remain a major challenge, in the current Internet of Things systems, a relatively easy method of data encryption is used to ensure the security of data transmission, which is commonly called lightweight cryptography. However, such method is at the risk of being cracked by quantum computers, which will contribute to many challenges specially related to privacy and security in IoT. As a result, the architecture of IoT needs to be re-designed considering the security challenges brought by quantum computers. On the other hand, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) allows two users to share unconditionally secure keys. Unlike classical cryptosystems, the security of QKD is based on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics. This security of QKD is independent of computational complexity and will not be affected, no matter how much computing power the adversary has. This paper introduces a quantum key distribution enhanced Internet of Things architecture and proposes a residual-adaptive key provisioning scheme, which is evaluated in terms of key distribution success rate in the simulation. © 2020 IEEE.
