| description | Abstract In the field of cybersecurity, hackers often enter computer systems despite current security measures, owing to the huge amount of network traffic that makes intruder identification difficult. Differentiating between authorized traffic and abnormal data produced by Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attackers is still a major difficulty. This research provides a unique technique that uses Quantum Machine Learning (QML) to improve security protocols for secure communication between two parties. Our strategy enhances detection accuracy and speed by using the characteristics of quantum neural networks. The approach includes creating a dataset from network traffic patterns, preprocessing it, and then turning it into quantum bits via angle embedding. The research uses outlier analysis, min-entropy, and quantum state fidelity to distinguish between normal and abnormal data patterns. The dispersed randomness of network header data is measured using entropy, which aids in identifying security concerns. The suggested QML-based methodology outperforms conventional approaches and current models, including AMM-CNN and ANN models, with a detection accuracy of 99.87% for DDoS attacks. This advancement leads to more effective and secure communication networks. |
