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 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 of the pair of asymmetric cryptographic keys in response to generating the encrypted QC detection data; and
data monitoring circuitry configured to:
monitor a set of data environments for electronic information related to the decrypted QC detection data.
