• Abstract: This study introduces a hybrid cryptographic framework for quantum communication that integrates entanglement-assisted decryption with phase-based physical obfuscation. While conventional quantum protocols often rely on explicit transmission of decryption keys or phase parameters, such models expose critical vulnerabilities to eavesdropping. To address this challenge, we propose a two-stage encryption-decryption mechanism. The first stage employs randomized phase modulation protected by active electromagnetic shielding to conceal the quantum signal from unauthorized interception. The second stage enables legitimate receivers to retrieve encrypted phase data using entangled quantum states, eliminating the need for classical key transfer. A formal mathematical framework is developed to describe the two-stage encoding and decryption process, including phase-modulated entangled states and their transformation under nonlocal correlation and adversarial noise. Simulation metrics confirm that the hybrid system preserves quantum coherence with visibility above 94% and entanglement negativity of 0.86, even under dynamic shielding and transmission noise. Simulation results demonstrate that the combined protocol enhances anti-eavesdropping resilience while maintaining quantum coherence. This architecture is suitable for large-scale secure quantum networks, where multi-layered defense strategies are essential against classical and quantum threats.
