Multi-Dimensional Security Architecture (MDSA): A Unified Framework for Post-Quantum Cryptographic Resilience
Simel-Eric Osborne Jenkins-Bey · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2025
We present Multi-Dimensional Security Architecture (MDSA), a comprehensive architectural framework that unifies multiple independent security mechanisms into a cohesive defense-in-depth system for post-quantum cryptography. Unlike single-layer approaches, MDSA orchestrates independent security dimensions into an integrated architecture where compromise of any single dimension does not result in total system failure. We demonstrate security amplification properties where combined system security exceeds individual component securities through dimension independence and cross-validation protocols.
