Alternating encryption schemes

An apparatus for dynamic data encryption leveraging artificial intelligence and quantum computing, the apparatus comprising:

• an encryption engine executing on a computing platform, the encryption engine configured to encrypt a dataset with a first encryption scheme;
• a memory that is in electronic communication with the computing platform, the memory configured to store the dataset in a first location;
• a quantum randomization engine configured to continually execute an alternating encryption scheme, the quantum randomization engine configured to:
• randomly select a time at which to replace the first encryption scheme;
• and
• randomly select a second encryption scheme from a plurality of encryption schemes;
• an artificial intelligence engine executing on the computing platform configured to replace the first encryption scheme with the second encryption scheme at the selected time;
• and
• a monitoring engine executing on the computing platform configured to:
• monitor the dataset;
• detect an attempted breach of the first encryption scheme;
• wherein, in response to detecting the attempted breach:
• the computing platform is configured to pause the alternating encryption scheme;
• the artificial intelligence engine is configured to:
• create a decoy dataset;
• and
• replace the dataset with the decoy dataset without changing the first encryption scheme;
• the encryption engine is configured to re-encrypt the dataset with a third encryption scheme, the third encryption scheme being randomly selected from the plurality of encryption schemes;
• the memory is configured to store the dataset in a second location, the second location being different from the first location;
• the monitoring engine is configured to identify a plurality of characteristics characterizing the attempted breach;
• the artificial intelligence engine together with a quantum optimization engine are configured to identify access points within the computing platform that are identified as having greater than a threshold level of vulnerability to attempted breaches, the access points being identified based on the plurality of characteristics;
• the encryption engine is further configured to add an additional layer of encryption around the identified access points;
• and
• after re-encrypting the dataset with the third encryption scheme, the computing platform is further configured to resume the alternating encryption scheme.
