QuantumLock® — Cryptographic Trust & Integrity Engine

QuantumLock® is SoftQuantus®'s sovereign cryptographic engine, designed to guarantee integrity, authenticity, and immutability of data, models, executions, and identities in post-quantum environments.

If QSA® decides who can access, QuantumLock® ensures that nothing was tampered with — before, during, and after.

The Problem (First Principles)

Fundamental Truths

• Quantum computers will break RSA, ECC, DSA
• Logs, AI models, and HPC executions are not trustworthy by default
• Current systems trust perimeters, not continuous integrity
• Retroactive auditing does not scale

Inevitable Consequence

Without a post-quantum cryptographic core, any critical system:

• Can be silently corrupted
• Is not auditable
• Is unacceptable for governments, defense, science, or finance

Core Functions

🔐 Post-Quantum Cryptography Engine

• NIST PQC-aligned algorithms (Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+)
• Quantum-resistant keys and signatures
• Future-proof integrity verification

🧾 Immutable Cryptographic Ledger

Tamper-proof records of:

• QCOS circuit executions
• SynapseX routing decisions
• Model training runs
• Configuration updates

Mathematical auditability, not opinion-based.

🧬 Model & Data Integrity

Strong hashes for:

• LLM weights and checkpoints
• Scientific datasets
• Critical configurations

Immediate detection of tampering.

🤖 Trust Anchor for Autonomous AI

Enables autonomous systems to:

• Prove what they executed
• Justify decisions cryptographically
• Be legally accepted in regulated environments

Competitive Advantage

QuantumLock is not a library. It is a structural component of computational trust.

Integration

CLI

# Initialize QuantumLock for a project
quantumlock init --algorithm dilithium3
 
# Sign an artifact (model, dataset, config)
quantumlock sign model.pt --output model.sig
 
# Verify integrity
quantumlock verify model.pt --signature model.sig
 
# Record to immutable ledger
quantumlock record --artifact model.pt --event training_complete
 
# Audit trail
quantumlock audit --from 2025-01-01 --to 2025-12-31

Python SDK

from quantumlock import QuantumLockClient, Algorithms
 
client = QuantumLockClient(api_key="your-key")
 
# Generate post-quantum keypair
keypair = client.generate_keypair(algorithm=Algorithms.DILITHIUM3)
 
# Sign model weights
signature = client.sign(
    artifact_path="model.pt",
    private_key=keypair.private_key
)
 
# Verify integrity
is_valid = client.verify(
    artifact_path="model.pt",
    signature=signature,
    public_key=keypair.public_key
)
 
# Record to immutable ledger
client.record(
    artifact_hash=signature.artifact_hash,
    event="model_deployed",
    metadata={"version": "1.0.0", "environment": "production"}
)
 
# Query audit trail
audit_trail = client.audit(
    artifact_hash=signature.artifact_hash,
    include_proofs=True
)

Strategic Position

QuantumLock is the "root of trust" of SoftQuantus.

Without it:

• QCOS is not accepted by governments
• SynapseX is not legally trustworthy
• QSA does not close the security cycle

With it:

SoftQuantus transforms from a technology company into a sovereign computational trust provider.
