arXiv:2608.28480v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) introduce unprecedented flexibility, interoperability, and intelligence into next-generation wireless systems, but their disaggregated and software-defined architecture also expands the attack surface and creates new security vulnerabilities. Conventional cryptographic mechanisms, while effective against classical threats, may become insufficient in the presence of quantum-enabled adversaries. This article presen
Editorial Analysis
O-RAN adoption is accelerating among European telcos; understanding where quantum-safe cryptography must be embedded early can prevent costly retrofits as 6G standards solidify.
Include O-RAN interfaces in post-quantum cryptography migration planning for telecom-dependent environments.
