A coordinated post-quantum mesh and route-aware zero-trust framework for smart-grid IoT communication utilizing simulation and attack evaluation

This study proposes a coordinated migration-oriented framework that integrates ML-KEM-1024 key establishment, ML-DSA-87 authentication, authenticated RPL mesh routing, and route-aware zero-trust validation that provides a practical security and migration layer for AMI, DER, and substation communication, while full stan...
