Data Obfuscation for Secure Use of Classical Values in Quantum Computation
Amal Raj, Vivek Balachandran
Quantum computing often requires classical data to be supplied to execution environments that may not be fully trusted or isolated. While encryption protects data at rest and in tr…
QSpy: A Quantum RAT for Circuit Spying and IP Theft
Amal Raj, Vivek Balachandran
As quantum computing platforms increasingly adopt cloud-based execution, users submit quantum circuits to remote compilers and backends, trusting that what they submit is exactly w…
Protecting Quantum Circuits Through Compiler-Resistant Obfuscation
Pradyun Parayil, Amal Raj, Vivek Balachandran
Quantum circuit obfuscation is becoming increasingly important to prevent theft and reverse engineering of quantum algorithms. As quantum computing advances, the need to protect th…
A Hybrid Encryption Framework Combining Classical, Post-Quantum, and QKD Methods
Amal Raj, Vivek Balachandran
This paper introduces a hybrid encryption framework combining classical cryptography (EdDSA, ECDH), post-quantum cryptography (ML-DSA-6x5, ML-KEM-768), and Quantum Key Distribution…
ObfusQate: Unveiling the First Quantum Program Obfuscation Framework
Nikhil Bartake, See Toh Zi Jie, Carmen Wong Jiawen +2
This paper introduces ObfusQate, a novel tool that conducts obfuscations using quantum primitives to enhance the security of both classical and quantum programs. We have designed a…
Quantum Opacity, Classical Clarity: A Hybrid Approach to Quantum Circuit Obfuscation
Amal Raj, Vivek Balachandran
Quantum computing leverages quantum mechanics to achieve computational advantages over classical hardware, but the use of third-party quantum compilers in the Noisy Intermediate-Sc…
