| TITLE | Quantum-Resistant Cyber Security Apparatus |

| ABSTRACT | Traditional cryptographic systems are becoming more vulnerable due to the rapid growth of cyber threats and the emergence of quantum computing as a global security challenge. In order to provide extremely secure and secret data transmission, this project suggests a Quantum-Resistant Cyber Security Apparatus that combines SM4-CBC encryption with Least Significant Bit (LSB) image steganography. Using a portable and offline-compatible platform, the system, which is implemented on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a Flask-based web interface, enables users to encrypt, embed, extract, and validate secret data. Tamper detection and integrity verification are guaranteed by a secure metadata header that includes payload size, type, IV, and CRC/HMAC. Additionally, the device incorporates a SQLite database for forensic analysis and system usage logging, as well as a 16x2 LCD display for real-time operation feedback. The system continuously maintains a PSNR > 45 dB, according to experimental results, guaranteeing that the stego-images remain visually identical to the original. This dual-layer security model is appropriate for military communication, IoT security, digital forensics, intelligence operations, and secure field environments because it offers strong confidentiality, covert transmission, and robust error detection. |
