Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for quantum entanglement authentication (QEA). An example method includes generating, at a first computing device, a first number based on a subset of a first set of entangled quantum particles associated with the first computing device. Each entangled quantum particle in the first set of entangled quantum particles may be entangled with a respective entangled quantum particle in a second set of entangled quantum particles associated with a second computing device. The example method further includes transmitting an electronic identification of the subset of the first set of entangled quantum particles to the second computing device. In some instances, the example method may further include receiving a second number from the second computing device and authenticating a session between the first computing device and the second computing device in an instance in which the second number corresponds, or is identical, to the first number.
