Simulated Quantum Entangled Firewall for Preventing Insider Data Leakage

Overview

This repository contains the research paper “Simulated Quantum Entangled Firewall for Preventing Insider Data Leakage”, which proposes a hybrid cybersecurity framework that integrates simulated quantum entanglement with endpoint monitoring and human-in-the-loop approval mechanisms to mitigate insider threats.

The work focuses on preventing unauthorized data exfiltration—particularly via email—by combining deterministic quantum-inspired identity verification with real-time behavioral monitoring.

Abstract

Insider data leakage remains a significant cybersecurity challenge that traditional firewalls struggle to detect. This paper presents a multi-layered firewall system that simulates quantum entanglement for email recipient verification, combined with endpoint activity monitoring and WhatsApp-based administrative approval.

Using Qiskit-based two-qubit quantum circuit simulations, the system generates deterministic entangled amplitude fingerprints derived from cryptographic hashes. Any deviation in sender–receiver identity results in immediate blocking. Additional safeguards include USB detection, screen capture monitoring, clipboard tracking, and cloud folder surveillance.

The proposed approach demonstrates strong spoof-resistance, deterministic verification, and low detection latency, making it suitable for enterprise and environmentally sensitive infrastructures.
