MVP Development: Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) File Security Application (NIST FIPS 203/204)
Budget: $4,000 – $8,000 USD
Project Description Highlights
The Mission: We are building "QuantumShield," a high-performance, user-friendly desktop application that protects sensitive SMB data against "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" threats using standardized Post-Quantum Cryptography.
Key Technical Focus: This is not a standard encryption project. We require implementation of ML-KEM (Kyber) and ML-DSA (Dilithium) within a Hybrid Cryptographic Scheme (PQC + Classical AES-256).
The Deliverable: A functional MVP for Windows/macOS featuring a "One-Click Shield" drag-and-drop interface and a "Quantum Health Dashboard" that monitors file vulnerability status.
Required Tech Stack: High-performance systems programming (e.g., Rust, C++, or Go) with direct experience using the Open Quantum Safe (liboqs) library or OpenSSL 3.4+ PQC providers.
The "Fitbit" for Data: The front-end must be sleek and non-technical, translating complex cryptographic states into a simple, visual Security Health Score.
