The Prospect of a New Cryptography: Extensive use of non-algorithmic randomness competes with mathematical complexity

Gideon Samid, Case Western Reserve University, BitMint
Abstract

Randomness cannot be compressed, hence expanded randomness is ‘contaminated randomness’ where hidden pattern is used. Current cryptography uses little randomness (the key) to generate large randomness (the ciphertext). The pattern used for this expansion is subject to cryptanalysis. By contrast, Vernam and the new breed of Trans-Vernam ciphers project security with sufficient supply of genuine randomness. Having no hidden pattern in their process, they expose no vulnerability to cryptanalysis, other than brute force, the efficacy of which, is well gauged by using enough randomness to brute-force through. Unlike the original genuine randomness cipher (the Vernam cipher; US patent: 1,310,719), the new breed of Trans-Vernam ciphers (US patents: 10,541,802, 10,911,215, 11,159,317 to name a few) projects security with shared randomness (between transmitter and recipient) as well as with unilateral randomness determined ad hoc by the transmitter, thereby controlling the vulnerability of the transmitted message, including eliminating it all together, rising to Vernam grade. The new Trans-Vernam ciphers exploit new technologies for generating high-grade randomness, storing it and communicating it in large quantities. Their security is mathematically established and barring faulty implementation these ciphers are unbreakable. We are looking at a flat cyberspace, no more hierarchy based on math skills: Vernam grade security delivered through modern Trans-Vernam ciphers. Robust privacy of communication will be claimed by all – for good and for ill; law-enforcement and national security will have to adjust. It's a new cryptography, and a new society.
