Quantum Entanglement-Driven Distributed Storage Protocol
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel distributed storage protocol leveraging quantum entanglement to enhance security and resilience against attacks. Traditional distributed storage systems rely on classical cryptographic algorithms, which are vulnerable to advances in computing power and algorithmic breakthroughs. This protocol aims to mitigate these vulnerabilities by directly exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics, specifically quantum entanglement, for secure data storage and retrieval. The core idea is to establish entangled states between storage nodes. Data encryption and verification are then performed by manipulating these entangled states, eliminating the need for conventional key exchange processes. This approach offers a fundamentally different security paradigm, providing a higher level of confidentiality and resistance against attacks that target classical cryptographic assumptions. The protocol's efficiency and scalability will be explored conceptually, laying the groundwork for future research and potential implementation.
