Abstract
An access request to allow a requestor process to access a protected resource is received. A qubit authentication state that identifies a desired state of a qubit is sent to the requestor process. It is determined that the requestor process has caused the qubit to have the qubit authentication state. Based at least in part on determining that the requestor process has caused the qubit to have the qubit authentication state, the requestor process is granted access to the protected resource.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor device, an access request to allow a requestor process to access a protected resource;
- sending, by the computing device to the requestor process, a qubit authentication state that identifies a desired state of a qubit;
- determining, by the computing device, that the requestor process has caused the qubit to have the qubit authentication state;
- and
- based at least in part on determining that the requestor process has caused the qubit to have the qubit authentication state, granting, by the computing device to the requestor process, access to the protected resource.
