20 Claims

1. A system for quantum computing (QC) detection, the system comprising:

QC detection data generation circuitry configured to generate QC detection data;

cryptographic circuitry configured to:

generate a pair of asymmetric cryptographic keys comprising a public cryptographic key and a private cryptographic key;

generate a symmetric cryptographic key;

encrypt the symmetric cryptographic key based on the pair of asymmetric cryptographic keys;

generate encrypted QC detection data based on the symmetric cryptographic key; and

destroy the private cryptographic key in response to generating the encrypted QC detection data; and

data monitoring circuitry configured to:

monitor a set of data environments for QC detection data.
