Quantum-resilient computer cluster

Abstract:

A method for operating a quantum-resilient server-cluster is provided. The server-cluster includes a plurality of servers. Each of the servers may be encapsulated in a selectively-quantum-resilient case. The method may include transmitting a first communication from a first server, included in the server-cluster. The first communication may be intercepted at a first selectively-quantum-resilient case. The method may include identifying, at the first selectively-quantum-resilient case, a recipient of the first communication. When the recipient of the first communication is a server included in the server-cluster, the first case verifies the security of the communication via quantum entanglement, and transmits the communication to the recipient in an encrypted manner via quantum tunneling. When the recipient of the first communication is a server outside of the server-cluster, the first case generates a quantum-resilient random number, encrypts the communication with the generated number and transmits the communication to the recipient via quantum tunneling.
