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
