NTRS: Zero-Point Optical Encryption Protocol

NTRS Nebula: Zero-Point Optical Encryption Protocol

Created by CHETHANA ABEYSINGHE

NTRS (Nano-Topographic Radial Steganography) is a revolutionary optical encryption protocol. Unlike traditional steganography that hides data in pixel values (LSB), NTRS wipes the value and stores data as a Coordinate Map (Zero-Point Dots) in the Alpha Channel.

The result is an encryption layer that is mathematically indistinguishable from random CCD sensor noise.

🚀 Features

• 🌌 Zero-Point Logic: Discards binary values and stores data as coordinates (sparse index mapping).
• 🔒 Nebula Hash: Uses a custom non-linear chaos stream cipher for coordinate shuffling (No AES).
• 👻 Matrix Stealth: 100% Invisible Alpha-Channel encoding (Quantum Limit 1px).
• 🛡️ Parity Check: Integrated Reed-Solomon error correction (Survives ~20% image corruption).

📦 Installation

Option A: For Normal Users (Windows App)

If you just want to use the tool without coding:

1. Download NTRS_Nebula.exe from the Releases Page.
2. Open your Command Prompt (cmd) or PowerShell.
3. Run the commands in the Usage Guide below.

Option B: For Developers (Python Library)

If you want to use the protocol inside your own Python scripts:

pip install ntrs-nebula

💻 Usage Guide

1. Using the Windows App (CLI)

To Encrypt (Hide a Message): This command takes your text and hides it inside image.png.

NTRS_Nebula.exe encrypt --text "This is a secret message" --image image.png --password "MyStrongPass123"

To Decrypt (Read a Message): This command reads the invisible dots from image.png and reveals the text.

NTRS_Nebula.exe decrypt --image image.png --password "MyStrongPass123"

2. Using the Python Library

You can import NTRS into your own projects to build secure communication tools.

Initialization:

from ntrs.core import NTRS

# Initialize the engine with a seed password
engine = NTRS("MySecurePassword")

Encryption (Encode):

secret_text = "Launch Code: 8841-9921"
target_image = "database_backup.png"

# This will modify the image in-place
engine.encode(secret_text, target_image)
print(f"Data successfully hidden in {target_image}")

Decryption (Decode):

target_image = "database_backup.png"

try:
    # Attempt to recover the data
    decrypted_text = engine.decode(target_image)
    print(f"Recovered Message: {decrypted_text}")
except Exception as e:
    print("Decryption failed. Image might be corrupted or password incorrect.")

⚔️ The Security Challenge

I am releasing the core logic as open source to verify the strength of the Zero-Point Logic.

I challenge the cybersecurity community to:

1. Analyze the _nebula_hash function in src/ntrs/core.py.
2. Attempt to distinguish an NTRS Dot from random sensor noise.
3. Try to reverse the coordinate map without the seed.

⚙️ Technical Specs

• Encryption: NTRS Nebula Hash (Custom Chaos Stream)
• Error Correction: Reed-Solomon (RSCodec-10)
• Signal Separation: Alpha-Channel Dithering (Δ1 value difference)
• Coordinate System: Radial Sparse Indexing
