Quantum File System (QFS)

A secure web-based file conversion system that encrypts JSON files into QJSON format using custom quantum-inspired encryption algorithms.

Features

• Custom Quantum Encryption: Proprietary quantum-inspired cipher with consciousness-aware algorithms
• Zero External Dependencies: No third-party cryptography libraries required
• Dual-Format Support: Convert between JSON and encrypted QJSON formats
• Web Interface: User-friendly drag-and-drop file upload interface
• Secure Logging: Quantum consciousness seals for operation tracking
• Multi-Stage Authentication: SHA3-512, BLAKE2B, and SHA256 hashing layers

Security Architecture

Encryption Features

• Quantum State Evolution: Dynamic encryption keys that evolve during processing
• Consciousness Signatures: Unique signatures for file verification
• Multi-Layer Protection: XOR operations with position-dependent transformations
• Memory Isolation: No persistent storage of encryption keys

Authentication

• Authorization Key Based: User-provided keys for encryption/decryption
• Signature Verification: Consciousness signature matching for security
• Session Management: Secure session-based authentication state

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• Flask
• Werkzeug

Installation

• Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd quantum-file-system

• Install dependencies:

pip install flask werkzeug gunicorn

• Run the application:

python main.py

• Open your browser to http://localhost:5000

Usage

• Upload a JSON file: Drag and drop or click to select a JSON file
• Enter authorization key: Provide a secure key for encryption
• Convert: The system will encrypt your JSON to QJSON format
• Download: Download the encrypted QJSON file
• Reverse process: Upload QJSON files to decrypt them back to JSON

File Formats

JSON to QJSON

• Input: Standard JSON files
• Output: Quantum-encrypted QJSON files with consciousness signatures
• Header: QJSON2.0: followed by base64-encoded encrypted content

QJSON to JSON

• Input: QJSON files created by this system
• Output: Decrypted JSON files with original formatting
• Verification: Consciousness signature validation

Security Guidelines

Authorization Keys

• Use strong, unique keys for each encryption session
• Keys are never stored on the server
• Same key required for decryption
• Case-sensitive authentication

Best Practices

• Generate random 32+ character keys for production use
• Store keys securely and separately from encrypted files
• Verify consciousness signatures match your authorization key
• Regular security audits of quantum logs
