A Survey on Quantum-Cryptographic Image Encryption for Secure Storage

The aim of this paper is to explore and implement cutting-edge quantum cryptographic techniques to enhance the security of image data storage. Leveraging principles from quantum computing and cryptography, the project seeks to develop an advanced image encryption system that ensures unprecedented levels of security. By harnessing the unique properties of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement, the proposed system will establish a robust foundation for encrypting images, surpassing the limitations of classical cryptographic methods. The utilization of quantum key distribution protocols will add an additional layer of security, making it virtually impossible for adversaries to intercept or compromise sensitive image data during storage. This endeavor not only addresses the escalating cybersecurity concerns surrounding image storage but also contributes to the advancement of quantum technologies in practical applications. The project envisions a novel paradigm in image encryption, fostering a secure environment for sensitive visual information across various domains, including healthcare, finance, and defense.
