Quantum Obfuscation Map for Memory Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The rapid advancement of quantum computing poses a threat to current security protocols, particularly public-key cryptography schemes like RSA and Diffie-Hellman, as quantum computers can potentially break these algorithms, necessitating a migration to quantum-resistant solutions, but the sheer volume and complexity of data present significant challenges in this transition.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of quantum phenomenon-based obfuscation of memory, which uses cryptographic circuitry to generate and store quantum obfuscation elements and maps, disassembling data into sections and assigning them locations based on these maps to obscure storage addresses, thereby preventing unauthorized access and ensuring secure storage even in the face of quantum attacks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If quantum phenomenon-based obfuscation of memory is implemented, then security against quantum attacks is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces quantum obfuscation elements (QOEs) and quantum obfuscation maps (QOMs) as intermediary components that mediate between the data and the memory storage system. These QOEs and QOMs act as a layer of abstraction that provides quantum-resistant security without requiring fundamental changes to the underlying memory hardware, thus improving security while managing device complexity through the use of software/firmware-based intermediaries.
2Reliability
If data is disassembled into sections and stored at obfuscated locations, then unauthorized access is prevented, but access time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-computing and storing the quantum obfuscation maps (QOMs) that contain the obfuscated location information for data sections. When data needs to be accessed, the system retrieves the pre-computed QOM and uses it to quickly determine the correct locations, rather than performing complex obfuscation calculations in real-time. This reduces access time while maintaining the security benefits of obfuscated storage locations.

AI summary
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for hardware-level encryption by generating and using a quantum obfuscation map (QOM). An example method includes generating one or more quantum obfuscation elements (QOEs) based on a one or more quantum particles and generating the QOM based on the one or more QOEs. The example method further includes receiving an indication of an instance of information/data and determining a location within a memory or a disk storage for each section in a plurality of sections corresponding to the instance of information/data based on the generated QOM.
