Security Audit Quantum Computing OQTOPUS gRPC

I Audited a Quantum Computer's Security Layer. Here's What I Found.

May 21, 2026 Mike Bennett 8 min

OQTOPUS is an open-source cloud quantum computer operating system managing real quantum hardware — job submission, qubit mapping, circuit execution. We audited its device-gateway and found zero integrity verification on the gRPC interface. No authentication, no result proofs, no program signing. We built a lightweight attestation module and submitted PR #79 upstream.
