Qash - QKDC

First of its kind key derivation/hash software powered by quantum operations. This software's goal is to use quantum computations to generate cryptographically secure hashes while providing flexibility and customization. 

• GitHub repository is here
  
• wiki is available here
• blockchain implementation: qashchain
• gaussian (strawberryfields) implementation: GausQash
• streamlit web ui demo is available here
• this codebase is released under the Apache 2.0 License available here
• itch.io zip file contains the main branch from GitHub, if other branches are desired, use of git and/or GitHub is required

---

Note: the GitHub repo has the most up to date information and codebase, while the zip file is provided for convenience, it may be a bit behind depending on the upload process (I'll do my best to make sure itch.io and GitHub are in sync)

---

Security Note: these circuits are not battle tested in any capacity and therefore unverified to be cryptographically secure, or programmatically useful in any manner

---

Future Goals: to continue developing open-source quantum software that is accessible to the masses, along with...

• Create circuits to target trapped-ion and neutral-atom QPUs
  
• verify usefulness of circuits through benchmarks/testing
• continue research/development of new and current circuits using physical quantum hardware (either through the cloud or on-premise access, if funding allows)
  
• develop web ui for demo usage
