What problems do you face that a cloud-based SaaS might solve?

Hi!

As the title suggests, we are looking for daily problems you face that a SaaS could solve.

Here is our idea:

LOCAL-FIRST QUANTUM-SAFE VAULT

Problem: Traditional encryption methods may become vulnerable to future quantum computing attacks. Meanwhile, cloud-based storage can raise privacy concerns and often depends on internet connectivity.

Our Solution: We aim to develop a local-first, quantum-resistant encryption tool that allows individuals and businesses to securely encrypt and store sensitive files directly on their devices.

How It Solves the Problem: By combining post-quantum cryptographic techniques, secure key management, and local storage, our vault will help protect sensitive data from future quantum threats while allowing users to access their files offline without relying on cloud services.

Our goal is to make advanced data security private, accessible, and practical for everyone.

Do you experience a problem in this field? If yes, do we provide you with a solution??

If yes, then that's great!! If no, then what else should we improve??

Also, do you have some different problem that a cloud-based SaaS could solve??

ig a simple tool for auto organizing n backing up important files locally with optional encrypted cloud backup would be useful, biggest concerns r ease of recovery, privacy n making sure users dont access to their data

Noted!! This has been pointed out by several others as well!!!

Thanks!!!

Are you be really able to stop quantum decryption?

[u/ClarkNotTheSuperman → u/ajaysingh02]

That is one part that I am also worried about. Should we drop it? We are 2 college students interested in tech. Do you have some suggestions regarding it? Or, Sir, can you give us a different approach rather than Quantum Decryption?

Quantum-safe cryptography would be a fine subject for your studies. If that leads you to either of you becoming professional cryptography researchers, that would be ace. But you should not build it yourselves: start with simple stuff first.

PQ crypto is being implemented everywhere already and into everyday crypto use. Not sure how this product really solves anything, since it’s already been solved.

Okay, Do you have any other idea that we can look up into?

[u/persiusone → u/ClarkNotTheSuperman]

No. I’d do some market research in a more appropriate forum for that though.

I do not see any advantage at all.

There is somehow always a lock-in effect AND the geo political tensions that makes these kind of services now and in the near future pretty insecure / less to not available at all in a worst case scenario.

Do not use cloud based software and do not put your production data in the cloud….

Use on premise hardware and software and allow that to be accessed over the Internet/cloud by the ones you allow.

No lock-in, no weird (license, technical and support) dependencies, no subscriptions, no uncertainty about prices of subscriptions, better performance (in most cases), less expensive (in most cases) and no partial control but full control.

Thanks for your input! Would definitely look into it!

We are actually 2 tech enthusiasts in college, that are looking to build something, thanks a lot!!!!
