        abstract = {In the contemporary era of rapidly advancing digital ecosystems, the interdisciplinary integration of physics and cyber security has catalysed ground-breaking innovations. This paper critically examines recent progress at the intersection of these domains, wherein foundational principles from quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics are being strategically harnessed to reinforce the robustness of digital security frameworks. Particular emphasis is placed on emergent technologies such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs), electromagnetic side-channel analysis and countermeasures, as well as thermodynamically-informed computing paradigms. The confluence of physics with cyber security is not merely reshaping conventional paradigms of information protection but is also pioneering the evolution of more secure, resilient, and intelligent technological infrastructures.},
