Project Overview

QMail is our vision to revolutionize email security by combining quantum cryptography, artificial intelligence, and modern UX design—technically advanced yet intuitive and user-friendly.

Inspiration

"Coming from different backgrounds in quantum computing, AI, and web development, we saw an opportunity to create something unique in the email security space."
Garv Seth

Our shared concern about quantum-era threats and opportunities drove us to build QMail. As Murugan explains, "Quantum computers threaten today’s encryption but also unlock next-generation security."

Technical Implementation

Quantum Security Layer

  • Integrated true quantum random number generation for unrivaled entropy
  • Simulated BB84 protocol to enable secure key exchange
  • Adopted post-quantum encryption standards (CRYSTALS-Kyber) for future-proof protection
  • Built robust key management with fallback mechanisms to counter decoherence and noise

Frontend Architecture

  • Crafted a responsive, Gmail-inspired interface for seamless interaction
  • Offered dark/light display modes to suit user preferences
  • Embedded interactive indicators that update in real time to reflect threat levels

AI Analysis Pipeline

  • Developed phishing detection and content classification models
  • Engineered a threat-scoring system for every incoming message
  • Optimized for real-time performance with multi-threading and caching
