The development of fifth-generation (5G) technology marks a significant milestone for digital communication systems, providing substantial improvements in data transmission speeds and enabling enhanced connectivity across a wider range of devices. However, this rapid increase in data volume also introduces new challenges related to transmission latency, reliability, and security. This paper introduces KyMLP-LDPC, a novel approach that integrates a multi-layer parallel LDPC (MLP-LDPC) algorithm with Kyber, a post-quantum cryptography scheme, to accelerate and enable reliable and secure transmission. MLP-LDPC partitions the LDPC parity check matrix into processing groups to streamline parallel decoding and minimize message collisions during transmission, thereby accelerating error correction operations. Kyber encrypts data preemptively to safeguard against potential attacks. The effectiveness of our proposed method is evaluated using both image data and signals transmitted through an additive white Gaussian noise communication channel. Evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior performance in terms of error correction capabilities and data security compared to existing approaches.
