11. DEFINING THE
TERMS AND
INTRODUCING THE
AIMS AND
OBJECTIVES

12. Cryptography
Good cryptography depends on the hardness of the match
problem
Symmetric key cryptography is when one key is used to encrypt
and decrypt information, and the most well -known standard in
this category is the Advanced Encryption Standard , also known
as Rijndael , based on the name of the creator Vincent Rijmen
Asymmetric cryptography is also known as public -key
cryptography, uses two different keys, one is public key that is
used for encryption and is known to all, and second is the
private key that is used for decryption and is only known by one
party

13. Cryptography
The most famous algorithm for public-key cryptography is the RSA
cryptosystem developed in 1977 Other well-known and frequently used
algorithms include: the Digital Signature Algorithm , which is based on the
Schnorr and ElGamal signature schemes ; the Diffie–Hellman key exchange
over public channels ; or as others have referred to as a method for ‘secure
communications over insecure channels’ ; or the Elliptic-curve
cryptography that is based on algebraic structure of elliptic curves over
finite fields

14. Quantum cryptography
Quantum cryptography utilises specific physical law s to enhance the
computational complexity of mathematical algorithms for securing
information
Quantum cryptography exploits the so -called superposition of quantum
particles
The most w ell-known quantum cryptography protocol, "quantum key
distribution" , involves the transmission of a random sequence of quantum
bits or "qubits" betw een tw o parties
The best -known QKD is the BB84 protocol published by Bennett and
Brassard in 1984 IoT devices and other embedded systems w ith limited
computational pow er can find it particularly challenging to generate strong
cryptographic keys today

15. Aims and objectives
Risk scenario one is a future large-scale quantum computer that can be
used to attack the progress and development of protocol and hardware
implementation
Risk scenario two is what we can describe as a ‘time-travel’ attack, which
means that a future large-scale quantum computer can go back in time and
rewrite history, it could forge medical records and replace existing patient
records, it could cause a denial of service, or even replace the complete
history

16. RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY

17. Methodology to determine the
importance of the study
Our study is underpinned by the seminal pronouncements made at
the Black Hat and DEF CON 31 conferences by governmental
dignitaries and titans of the tech world
At DEF CON 31, a congregation witnessing our active participation
and logistical contribution in the Red Hat Village, the hacking
cohort, and pivotal stakeholders in Generative AI discourse
underwent a paradigmatic shift
On Black Hat's concluding day, the White House unexpectedly
disclosed its collaborative venture with AI luminaries - including
OpenAI, Google, Antrhopic, Hugging Face, Microsoft, Nvidia, and
Stability AI, culminating in a public appraisal of generative AI
ecosystems at DEF CON

18. Methodology to determine the quality of
the study
Our postulate asserts that a specialised red team approach,
amalgamating AI/NLP blueprints with the quantum cryptographic
tenets of the BB84 protocol and NIST-sanctioned algorithms,
unveils latent security lacunae, thereby fortifying quantum
internet infrastructure
Through the synergistic capabilities of C++ and Python, our
investigation is poised for intricate depth and adaptability to
surmount multifaceted quantum cryptographic enigmas
The methodological core is anchored in the versatile roles of
Python and C++, exemplifying their composite prowess in
achieving strategic orchestration and granular computational
might

19. Methodology to determine the potential impact
The expanding acclaim of large language models like ChatGPT indicates a
transformative phase in textual and communicative paradigms
In accord and conjunction with the White House's Office of Science, Technology, and
Policy, we are poised to helm a research expedition dedicated to the forensic
assessment of these emergent generative AI constructs
With the White House's explicit endorsement for such autonomous evaluative
endeavours , we posit our methodology, rooted in Red Teaming paradigms, as a beacon
aligning with the foundational principles of the Biden administration's AI Bill of Rights
and the AI Risk Management edicts decreed by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology

20. Timeliness Given Current Trends, Context, and Needs
During DEF CON 31, the AI Village's founder accentuated a crucial challenge: the
prevailing issues with Generative AI models remain unresolved owing to a knowledge
gap in their red team evaluation
Building upon insights from the PETRAS project , our study develops the design for
executing the UK's most comprehensive red team exercise on select AI models
Our study will differentiate from contemporaneous endeavours by targeting quantum
cryptography, emphasising the BB84 protocol and NIST's Quantum -Resistant
Cryptographic Algorithms

21. Impacts on World-leading Research, Society, Economy, or the
Environment
The intricacies of securing Large Language Models became strikingly
evident at DEF CON 31, where participants interacted with LLMs in a
controlled environment
Given DEF CON's massive participation, our research, conducted under the
stringent ethical and privacy standards of the University of Oxford, offers a
more secure avenue for assessing LLM vulnerabilities than a convention -
based approach

22. Impacts on World-leading Research, Society, Economy, or the
Environment
In Figure 2, the flowchart provides a visual representation of the research
methodology, starting with the initial research proposal and moving
through various stages, including theoretical design, background research,
objectives definition, model training, environment setup, penetration
testing, data collection, anomaly detection, reverse engineering, and
feedback integration

23. Review of Novel AI and Quantum technologies and their significance
The new design for penetration testing of Generative AI and Quantum computing can
produce several novel technologies in vulnerability management that could have wide -
ranging impacts
Advanced AI/NLP models focused on vulnerability detection in cryptographic algorithms
would be a significant step forward in cybersecurity
Our proposed design is poised to unveil new vulnerabilities, leading to improved
security of new technologies in the domain of vulnerability management, with potential
reverberations across diverse sectors

46. Limitations
Scope of Study: Our research primarily focused on the BB84 protocol and
specific NIST-approved algorithms
Data Limitations: The AI models w ere trained using datasets like Cornell
ArXiv and Penn Treebank
Technological Constraints: Our reliance on Python and C++ for
simulations, w hile efficient, might not capture the intricacies or
vulnerabilities present in other programming environments or real -world
quantum systems
Red Teaming Limitations: While our red teaming approach simulated
potential hacker activities, real -world cyber threats can be more diverse,
sophisticated, and unpredictable than those replicated in controlled
environments

47. Limitations
Generalisability: The findings, while pertinent to the
conditions and parameters of our study, might not be
universally applicable across different quantum or AI
configurations or in varied geopolitical or
technological contexts
Temporal Limitations: The rapid evolution of both
quantum computing and AI means that our findings,
though relevant now, may require periodic re-
evaluation to remain current in the face of
technological advancements
