Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for disruption of retrospective decryption operations. A home server may receive an encrypted communication from a data packet and execute a predetermined response. Absence of the predetermined response may initiate a protocol that dynamically mutates the size and processing requirements for the data packet. A monitoring network associated with the home server may receive power and network usage data from network nodes deployed at a plurality of geographic locations. The monitoring network may detect shifts in power and network usage that exceed a predetermined threshold and match the shifts to the processing requirements of the mutated data packet. The monitoring network may activate automated responses including generating a geographic beacon, transmitting an alert, blocking network access to the beacon location, and/or blocking access to the home server.

Abstract: A system includes a quantum memory configured to store sensitive data to be transmitted to a quantum computing device over an optical communication channel and a quantum processor operably coupled to the quantum memory and configured to generate pairs of entangled quantum bits (QuBits), and further encode each pair of the pairs of entangled QuBits based on the sensitive data. The pairs of entangled QuBits include the sensitive data. The quantum processor is further configured to store the pairs of entangled QuBits to a predetermined quantum storage medium configured to maintain a state of each pair of the pairs of entangled QuBits, identify, based on a change in state associated with one Qubit of a pair of the pairs of entangled QuBits, an unauthorized measurement of the pairs of entangled QuBits, and in response to identifying the unauthorized measurement, cause the pairs of entangled QuBits to be rendered unreadable.

Abstract: A system includes a memory configured to store a post quantum cryptography (PQC) key and sensitive data to be transmitted to a computing device over a communication channel and a processor operably coupled to the memory and configured to access the PQC key and the sensitive data. The processor is further configured to determine, based at least in part on the sensitive data, an expiration time beyond which the sensitive data is rendered unreadable. The expiration time is identified based on an estimated future time at which a quantum computing based decryption process can be utilized to read the sensitive data. The processor is further configured to encode the sensitive data based on the PQC key. The PQC key is associated with the expiration time. The processor is further configured to transmit, over the communication channel, the encoded sensitive data to the computing device.

Abstract: A system includes a quantum memory configured to store a quantum cryptographic key, a unique random key, and sensitive data to be transmitted to a quantum computing device over an optical communication channel. The system further includes a quantum processor operably coupled to the quantum memory and configured to access the quantum cryptographic key and the sensitive data and to transmit, over the optical communication channel, the quantum cryptographic key to the quantum computing device. In response to transmitting the quantum cryptographic key to the quantum computing device, the quantum processor is further configured to encode the sensitive data based on the quantum cryptographic key and a unique random key. The encoded sensitive data includes a generated one or more pairs of entangled quantum bits (Qubits). The quantum processor is further configured to transmit, over the optical communication channel, the encoded sensitive data to the quantum computing device.

Abstract: A system includes a quantum memory configured to store a first quantum cryptographic key and a quantum processor operably coupled to the quantum memory and configured to generate pairs of entangled quantum bits (QuBits). The pairs of entangled QuBits include the first quantum cryptographic key. The quantum processor is further configured to determine, based on one Qubit of each pair of entangled QuBits, a first set of measurements, transmit the pairs of entangled QuBits to the quantum computing device, and in response to transmitting the pairs of entangled QuBits, receive, from the quantum computing device, a second set of measurements of each pair of entangled QuBits. The quantum processor is further configured to identify, based on a comparison of the first set of measurements and the second set of measurements, a second quantum cryptographic key. The second quantum cryptographic key is between the system and the quantum computing device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus may encrypt data using an encryption key and securely store the encrypted data on a quantum medium so that the data is not accessed without authorization. The encrypted data may be stored on a quantum medium in the form of quantum bits that are encoded as quantum-entangled particles having correlated quantum states. An authorized user at a second quantum computer may access the stored data and decrypt the data with a copy of the encryption key that may be obtained from the first quantum computer via quantum tunneling. An intrusion attempt by an unauthorized party to access the quantum encrypted data via the quantum medium may cause one or more echoes to be generated and passed into the quantum medium. The echoes may disturb the quantum-entangled particles and make the quantum encrypted data unintelligible to the unauthorized party so that the encrypted data cannot be accessed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for disruption of retrospective decryption operations. A harvested file may include an embedded protocol initiated when the file is transferred. The protocol may involve increasing the size of the harvested file, decreasing processing speed to a level below a predetermined threshold, and increasing energy use to a level above a predetermined threshold. The protocol may initiate changes that result in a detectable pattern of energy use and network activity. A monitoring network associated with the home system may detect a pattern of energy use and network activity corresponding to the harvested file. The monitoring network may generate a beacon comprising a location associated with the detected energy use and network activity, transmit an alert including the location, and isolate a home server within a home system.

Abstract: A method for enhancing security of data, code, and/or network components by introducing a layer of integrity management that adapts to changing conditions within a network. The method may include use of a processor to perform intrusion analysis using an intrusion detection system and/or prevention system, behavioral analysis by accessing user logs to see if behavior is within a normal range, and/or geolocation analysis to see if the piece of data, section of code, and/or network component are within their usual surroundings. When there is a concern of a data breach, leak, and/or hack, the processor may initiate a response that detects other pieces of data, sections of code, and/or network components in proximity, initiates a self-destruct mechanism, triggers hardware to perform outside of operational specifications, and contains the spread of the data breach, leak, and/or hack through shutdown procedures, isolating affected systems, and/or alerting security personnel.

Abstract: A method for enhancing security of data by introducing a layer of data integrity management that adapts to changing conditions within a data network. The method may include using a processor located and operated by a first party to encrypt a data packet, embed an algorithm into the encrypted data packet, store the latter, and/or transfer the latter to a second party. The algorithm may validate at a predetermined frequency the encrypted data packet and/or determine its location in its environment. When the algorithm indicates an issue with the encrypted data packet, the latter may provide an alert message that includes the nature of the breach, a timestamp of when it was noticed, and/or an identification of the affected encrypted data packet. The latter may also gather information about its environment and provide it back to the processor, and initiate data lockdown and access restriction back at its origin.
