We are pleased to announce that a new paper from LINCS Lab has been accepted for publication in IEEE Internet of Things Magazine.
The paper, titled “Securing the Future of IoMT in the Post-Quantum Era: An Edge-Native Federated Learning Approach,” is authored by Taym Alshoghri, Deemah H. Tashman, Mohammad Reza Gerami, and Prof. Soumaya Cherkaoui.

This work addresses one of the emerging challenges in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT): how to ensure secure and privacy-preserving communication in highly resource-constrained medical environments, especially as quantum computing threatens the long-term reliability of conventional cryptographic mechanisms.

The paper explores the integration of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) into Federated Learning (FL)-enabled IoMT systems, where sensitive medical data must remain protected while distributed devices collaboratively train intelligent models. The authors propose a scalable, Kubernetes-based edge-native framework that supports quantum-resilient security mechanisms, including post-quantum key establishment, lightweight encryption, and secure orchestration.

This publication contributes to the ongoing development of resilient, privacy-preserving, and quantum-safe systems for next-generation healthcare and intelligent IoT environments.

Congratulations to the authors on this achievement!
