Abstract

The embodiments provided herein disclose a method and system for a quantum-enhanced decryption process for RSA and AES encryptions. The system includes a quantum computing module with one or more processors configured to execute quantum algorithms. A classical computing module is provided for post-processing decrypted data and a data conversion module facilitates data format translation between quantum and classical modules. An interface module is provided for user interaction with an integrated software to optimize the system for performance, security, and resource efficiency. The system is further capable of decrypting RSA and AES encrypted data, along with quantum-vulnerable encryption standards found in both real-time and archived data sources.
