Spacetime encryption of a signal

[kjsisco 0]

I have created a way to encrypt a signal using Autoit.  I use a simple spacetime model.  Enjoy!

kjsisco,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

Would you care to give an example showing how to use this script as my cursory glance at the code did not immediately make it clear.

I apologize for not explaining better.  Spacetime encryption is an encryption algorithm demonstrating that a signal can be encrypting using a basic spacetime model.  It is as close as a classical computer can come to quantum cryptography.  That is what this is, a classical quantum method.  Though it isn't quantum.  Hope I didn't confuse you more.

kjsisco,

I understand the principle of quantum encryption - but your script merely takes a host of different inputs (pi, the local date-time and some monitor display data) to produce a single output - which on my machine reads:

47653762.34188310000003B002B241C002B241C002B1BAA000000670000041A00000023000007DF4145921380000000

How is this supposed to encrypt/decrypt anything?

An encryption that cannot be decrypted is not particularly useful. Some functions appear to be using parameters which are out of range. This is a one way process.

The signal is represented by the refresh rate of the current display in hurts.  The spacetime model is used to encrypt the signal.

kjsisco,

And what use is the resultant value? As czardas pointed out, a one-way process is a hash not an encryption.

I am afraid that we are having real difficulty seeing the application of the script you posted. As I asked in post #2 above, do you have a real-world example where the process is actually of use?

I apologize if English is not your primary language, but "refresh rate in hurts" (hertz) tickled my funnybone.

One way encryption is good for the likes of passwords and such, but if the monitor you are using is different from the one you used to begin with it would become rather useless.

[kjsisco 0]

It isn't really useless because, after all, the time changes every ms.

[jchd 1,506]

Correct, then what?

[JohnOne 1,603]

I'm trying, kjsisco, but I cannot come up with a singe reason this would be useful.

You have been asked before, but once again, please explain exactly what it is useful for?

There maybe a way to collect data from the victim's computer.

I don't know how you could use this to collect info from someone's computer.  This is not malware.  I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but if you want to use it in this way shame on you.  I designed this to demonstrate that it can be done.  One could use this to protect a cell phone from spying, for one thing.  This algorithm was certainly not meant to cause such an uproar.

kjsisco,

 

One could use this to protect a cell phone from spying

But how? Please post a script to show us how you could use it to protect a cell phone.

The cell phone example is just one possibility but now that I think of it that wouldn't fit in with my spacetime model as you need something with a monitor.  A digital cable box would be better.  The cable signal could be fed into the model (TV display+time) and processed (encrypted) by using the rotation/single xor portion of the cypher.

[JohnOne 1,603]

And how would it be decyphered?

@JohnOne, are you really asking me to give out the key? 

[jchd 1,506]

Security by obscurity?

[JohnOne 1,603]

@JohnOne, are you really asking me to give out the key? 

Nope, there is no key.

I think you're on a wind up
