This framework employs a classical cryptographic methods for group logistics like as transmitting of messages and membership management while employing quantum communication strategy for secure key distribution and related authentication. In order to increase the flexibility and data-security of the proposed system further, a supervisor learning based mechanism is incorporated into the framework where reinforcement learning will employed in controlling the interaction of the protocols and the decision-making processes in an active manner. This combination of classical, quantum and supervisor learning strategies gives a solution to the issues of scalability, efficiency, effective and timely actionable response to increasing cyber threats especially in the era of quantum computing. The framework is highly effective and secured for group interaction in distributed network infrastructures. It will be a leading the approach for advanced cryptographic mechanism in the future. © 2025 IEEE.authenticationclassical cryptographydistributed systemshybrid frameworkkey distributionmachine learningquantum communicationquantum computingreinforcement learningsecure group communicationA Hybrid Framework for Secure Group Communication Using Quantum-Classical Cryptography and Reinforcement Learning
