System and method for quantum-enabled cyber security in a wireless mobile network

A method comprising:

• monitoring, by a processing system including a processor, a communication session between an access point and a core network;
• determining, by the processing system and based on the monitoring, that a security status of the communication session does not indicate a security threat, resulting in a first determination;
• determining, by the processing system and based on the first determination, that a quantum channel is provisioned in respect of the communication session, resulting in a second determination;
• and
• deactivating, by the processing system and based on the second determination, the quantum channel.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• monitoring a security status of a link involving an access point, the link comprising a classical communication channel adapted to transport data;
• and
• responsive to determining a change in the security status:
• associating the data with a quantum communication channel between the access point and a core cloud network, wherein the quantum communication channel is adapted to transport information via qubits;
• and
• exchanging information between the access point and the core cloud network via the qubits of the quantum communication channel, wherein the exchanging of the information via the qubits enhances a security level of a communication session.
