Abstract
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.
