  • Patent number: 11928249
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for hardware-level encryption. An example method includes receiving an instance of information/data by processing circuitry; and disassembling, by the processing circuitry, the instance of information/data into a plurality of sections. The processing circuitry assigns each section of the plurality of sections a location in an allocated portion of memory. The locations are determined based at least in part on a quantum obfuscation map (QOM). The QOM is generated based on one or more quantum obfuscation elements (QOEs) corresponding to a quantum state of a quantum particle. The processing circuitry then causes each of the plurality of sections to be stored at the corresponding assigned location in the allocated portion of the memory.
