seigr-toolset-crypto 0.2.0

Post-classical cryptographic engine with entropy amplification and multi-path hashing

Seigr Toolset Crypto (STC)

Post-classical cryptographic engine with entropy-regenerative architecture

Overview

STC v0.2.0 is a research-grade cryptographic system that rejects traditional symmetric/asymmetric paradigms. Instead of XOR-based mixing, static keys, and classical block ciphers, it implements:

• Continuous Entropy Lattice (CEL) - Self-evolving entropy field regenerated from computational deltas
• Probabilistic Hashing Engine (PHE) - Multi-path hashing with CEL-driven path selection
• Contextual Key Emergence (CKE) - Ephemeral keys reconstructed from context intersections
• Data-State Folding (DSF) - Encryption via multidimensional tensor folding
• Polymorphic Cryptographic Flow (PCF) - Dynamic algorithmic morphing
• State Management - Deterministic reconstruction from compact persistence vectors

⚡ Performance (v0.2.0)

• Encryption: ~1.3s for small messages (76x faster than v0.2.0-alpha)
• Decryption: ~0.9s for small messages
• Metadata Size: ~786 KB (constant, independent of data size)
• Total Throughput: ~2.3s for encrypt+decrypt cycle

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• NumPy 1.24.0+

Quick Start

Password-Based Encryption (v0.2.0)

from interfaces.api.stc_api import STCContext

# Initialize context with seed
ctx = STCContext('my-unique-seed')

# Encrypt with password
encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt(
    "Secret message",
    password="strong_password"
)

# Decrypt with same password
decrypted = ctx.decrypt(encrypted, metadata, password="strong_password")
print(decrypted)  # "Secret message"

Basic API (No Password)

from interfaces.api import stc_api

# Initialize STC context
context = stc_api.initialize(seed="your-seed-phrase")

# Encrypt data (uses seed as password)
encrypted, metadata = context.encrypt("sensitive information")

# Decrypt data
decrypted = context.decrypt(encrypted, metadata)
print(decrypted)  # "sensitive information"

# Generate probabilistic hash
hash_result = context.hash("data to hash")

Quick API (One-liners)

from interfaces.api import stc_api

# Quick encrypt - returns encrypted data, metadata, and context
encrypted, metadata, context = stc_api.quick_encrypt(
    "sensitive data", 
    seed="your-seed"
)

# Quick decrypt - reconstructs context from metadata
decrypted = stc_api.quick_decrypt(
    encrypted, 
    metadata, 
    seed="your-seed"
)

Usage

Advanced: Custom Parameters

Advanced: Custom Parameters

from interfaces.api.stc_api import STCContext

# Custom lattice parameters (smaller = faster, less security)
context = STCContext(
    seed="your-seed",
    lattice_size=128,  # Default: 128 (was 256 in v0.1.x)
    depth=6,           # Default: 6 (was 8 in v0.1.x)
    morph_interval=100 # Polymorphic flow morphing interval
)

# Encrypt with custom context
encrypted, metadata = context.encrypt(
    "data",
    password="password123"
)

# Derive keys
key = context.derive_key(length=32)

# Hash data
hash_value = context.hash("data")

State Management

# Save context state
state = context.save_state()

# Load state (for resuming)
context.load_state(state)

# Get context status
status = context.get_status()
print(status)

Features

v0.2.0 Enhancements

• ✅ Password-based encryption with MAC verification
• ✅ Metadata encryption using ephemeral keys
• ✅ Binary TLV format for compact metadata storage
• ✅ CEL entropy amplification with timing chains and multi-tier feedback
• ✅ PHE multi-path hashing (3-5 parallel paths, CEL-driven)
• ✅ Performance optimizations (76x speedup from v0.2.0-alpha)
• ✅ Entropy quality auditing and collision monitoring
• ✅ Backward compatibility with v0.1.x JSON format

Known Limitations

• Metadata size: ~786 KB constant overhead (reduced from 4 MB in alpha)
• Decoy vectors: Not yet supported (TLV serialization pending)
• Performance: 2.3s for small messages (acceptable for security-critical use)

See CHANGELOG.md for detailed version history and PERFORMANCE_OPTIMIZATIONS.md for optimization details.

Principles

1. No legacy cryptography - No XOR, no substitution-permutation networks, no block ciphers
2. No external randomness - All entropy from internal computation (timing deltas, state evolution)
3. Deterministic from seed - Same seed produces same initial state; state evolves with CEL dynamics
4. Context-sensitive polymorphism - Behavior adapts to operation chains
5. Ephemeral keys - Keys emerge and discard, never persist
6. Self-sovereign security - No cloud dependencies, no external services, full user control

Examples

See examples/ directory for practical demonstrations:

• password_manager/ - Secure credential storage with password-based encryption (v0.2.0)
• config_encryption/ - Configuration file encryption with metadata persistence
• validation/ - Example validation scripts

Run examples:

cd examples/password_manager
python password_manager.py

cd examples/config_encryption
python config_example.py

Testing

Run the full test suite:

# Run all tests
python -m unittest discover tests/

# Run specific test modules
python -m unittest tests.test_cel
python -m unittest tests.test_phe
python -m unittest tests.test_integration

All 37 tests pass in v0.2.0.

Development Status

v0.2.0 - Production-ready with known limitations (see above)

Roadmap

• v0.2.1: Variable-length integer encoding (metadata → ~100-200 KB)
• v0.2.2: Decoy vector TLV serialization
• v0.3.0: Streaming support for large files, migration utilities
