Pioneering Engineered Security in the Quantum-Cyber Era

By Pravir Malik

The book reframes cybersecurity as an engineering discipline grounded in structure rather than an arms race of secrets, tools, and telemetry. It brings QIQD into security practice as a geometry of trust: deep structure remains non-exportable, observable surfaces are governed, and evidence strengthens assurance without becoming a reconstruction path. Quantum no-go results become interface laws for controlled disclosure, continuity, and proof. PQC is the scalable cryptographic substrate, QKX/QKD a selective high-assurance link overlay, QRNG an entropy service, and QIQD-minted seeds the root authority. Across four parts, the book moves from no-go theorems, projected uniqueness, qualified determinism, and commuting receipts to operational controls for integrity, uncertainty, and entanglement. It then develops PAR/MAR imprints, qibits, STEG-Fabric, task-restricted controllers, watchdog attestation, a quantum security chip, and the QCSDC simulator. The result is assurance by design.
