AKQ: A Hybrid Quantum-Classical Image Encryption System
Tran Khanh Nguyen, Nguyen Thi Thanh Truc, Vu Tuan Hai · 2023
Image encryption is an essential field between computer vision and security which aims to protect the image before future attacks. Nowadays, it is threatened by quantum computers, which can break some classical cryptography. The encryption system has been upgraded from quantum key exchange protocol to post-quantum key-establishment mechanisms, but they are not explicitly designed for the image encryption task. In this paper, we propose a hybrid quantum-classical theoretical framework and its instance AKQ system which is more secure and suitable in the post-quantum era.
