QDNA-ID

🧬 QDNA-ID — Quantum Device Native Authentication
Developed by: Osamah N. Neamah
Institution: Department of Mechatronic Engineering, Graduate Institute, Karabuk University, Karabuk, Turkey.

A quantum provenance dashboard that links physical device behavior
to cryptographically verifiable, signed fingerprints.
A complete trust chain connecting physical quantum behavior to digital verification. The code shown here is a simplified V0 example only and does not represent the exact workings. The dataset shown is the same data used for the Proof-of-Concept tests.

🧠 Project Overview

QDNA-ID introduces a quantum provenance framework that couples quantum hardware behavior with
digitally verifiable cryptographic records. Each quantum execution generates a fingerprint that is:

1. Measured on a real IBM Quantum device.
2. Characterized by quantum-mechanical metrics (e.g., CHSH S-value).
3. Encoded into a deterministic feature vector.
4. Digitally signed & timestamped using HMAC-SHA256 and RSA-PSS-SHA256.
5. Stored and verifiable as a reproducible provenance record.

This provides a measurable and cryptographically sealed identity for each quantum device run —
bridging physical quantum entropy with digital cryptographic trust.

🧩 Key Features

• ✅ Hardware-based measurement (no simulators; tested on real IBM Quantum devices).
• 🔐 Dual cryptographic signatures — HMAC-SHA256 (symmetric) & RSA-PSS-SHA256 (asymmetric).
• 📈 CHSH-S Quantum Verification — non-classical correlation score (≥ 2.0 required).
• 🧾 Provenance Metadata — full environment capture: runtime versions, device ID, timestamps.
• 🧮 Feature Extraction — converts raw counts to structured quantum fingerprints.
• 🗃️ Hierarchical Storage —
  qdna_sessions/<backend>/ ├── <QDNAID>_raw.json ├── <QDNAID>_features.json └── <QDNAID>_sign.json

ruby Copy code

• 🌐 Streamlit Dashboard — live display of CHSH metrics, signatures, and device provenance.
