This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240405978 titled 'EAVESDROPPER IDENTIFICATION AND CONTAINER IMAGE LAYER INVALIDATION
Original Abstract Submitted
it is determined that a container image comprising a plurality of container image layers generated by a container build engine is to be transmitted from a container image repository to a target computing device. it is determined that a first container image layer of the plurality of container image layers is a sensitive container image layer to be encrypted prior to transmission to the target computing device. a first key generated by a quantum computing system that uses a quantum key distribution protocol, a plurality of qubits and a quantum communication channel to generate the first key is obtained. the first container image layer is encrypted using the first key to generate a first encrypted container image layer. the first encrypted container image layer is transmitted to the target computing device.
