The 1st MobiSec Special Session on
Quantum Software Stacks and Security Convergence Applications

(QuoUSKWe 2026)

In conjunction with MobiSec 2026

Splendor Hotel, Taichung, Taiwan. December 15~17, 2026

This Special Session is supported by the Horizon-EU project: QuoUSKWe

OVERVIEW

As mobile networks evolve toward 6G and distributed intelligent systems, classical architectures face severe bottlenecks in real-time threat response, network optimization, and cryptographic resilience. Quantum computing introduces transformative capabilities while simultaneously challenging conventional security paradigms. Capitalizing on this transition requires bridging the gap between fragmented quantum software and real-world mobile deployments.

This special session investigates the entire quantum software lifecycle—from high-level programming models (e.g., Qrisp) and MLIR-based compiler optimizations to practical security convergence applications and international standardization. Key focus areas include Quantum AI for 6G/AI-RAN threat detection, post-quantum cryptographic transitions, secure hybrid quantum-classical execution, and global quantum security standards (e.g., CEN/CENELEC, ISO/IEC, ITU-T, IEEE, 3GPP).

To accelerate project dissemination and cross-domain synergy, the session warmly invites original research papers, visionary roadmaps, state-of-the-art (SOTA) surveys, and educational tutorials tailored to the mobile internet and security communities.

TOPICS (not limited to)

Submissions should focus on contributing in the following areas:

- High-level quantum programming models and abstractions

- Quantum compiler infrastructures, MLIR intermediate representations, and circuit optimization

- Hardware-agnostic compilation and validation on real quantum hardware

- Quantum AI and machine learning for 6G and AI-RAN threat detection

- Quantum cryptanalysis and vulnerability assessment of mobile security schemes

- Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) integration and benchmarking in mobile networks

- Secure quantum-classical hybrid execution and runtime orchestration

- Fault-tolerant quantum computing and circuit depth reduction for security workloads

- Zero Trust and identity architectures for quantum-assisted environments

- Standardized quantum meta-models and open-source software stacks

- Quantum-enhanced optimization for secure routing and radio resource allocation

- Security, privacy, and trust modeling in quantum-enabled systems

- International standardization on quantum security and software (e.g., ITU-T, IEEE, 3GPP)

- Strategic roadmaps and SOTA surveys on quantum software stack and security convergence

- Hands-on tutorials on quantum programming frameworks and quantum security applications

IMPORTANT DATES

- Paper submission deadline: October 16, 2026 (KST/JST)

PAPER SUBMISSION

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

The contributions to MobiSec 2026 must be submitted to the conference submission system:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mobisec2026

Authors are invited to submit papers: they must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published
elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any other conferences that have proceedings.

An accepted paper must be registered before the registration deadline and presented at the conference.
Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the conference proceedings
and the program.

- The submission must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references.

- The submission file is in PDF or PS file format produced via

@ the Easychair Latex Class file (US letter size)
[Available at https://easychair.org/publications/easychair.zip]

@ the Easychair Microsoft Word file
[Available at https://easychair.org/publications/easychair.docx]

- The length of the submission should be at least 5 pages long, not exceed 20 pages in the Easychair style,

- excluding the bibliography and clearly marked appendices.

- Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted,
at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the workshop.

- During submission, please select “MobiSec 2026 - QuoUSKWe Session” for their paper.

PROCEEDINGS

- All accepted papers will be made available to participants in the preliminary online proceedings (non-official publication) during the conference.

- Following our tradition, a selected set of high-quality papers presented at MobiSec 2026 will be invited for publication in the Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series (indexed by Scopus), after appropriate revision and expansion.

- Other accepted papers may also be considered for publication, in extended and revised form, in reputable SCIE or Scopus-indexed journals
