🔬 Methodology

Quantum SafeML is built on the concept of defending AI systems using quantum-enhanced data processing and post-quantum encryption techniques. Below is a step-by-step flow of how the system operates:

1

Convert to Quantum Dataset
Map classical features into a quantum-ready representation using encoding schemes like amplitude or angle encoding.

2

Train Quantum ML Model
Use quantum circuits (like QNNs or quantum kernels) to learn from encoded data.

3

Fit to Test Data
Apply trained quantum models to unseen data points.

4

Store Predictions
Securely store outputs using quantum-resistant encryption methods.

5

Create Comparison Sets
Form sets of similar samples for adversarial defense and confidence validation.

6

Apply Quantum Distance Metrics
Compute fidelity or trace distance to evaluate consistency and noise resilience.

7

Check Confidence Threshold
Compare prediction certainty against a predefined quantum-aware threshold.

8

Notify Human Agent
If confidence is low, flag the sample for human review or intervention.
