⚙️ — Post-Quantum Encryption Alternative : Endless Rush

Expressed during the period 2020-2022 (IPX)

➠ Endless Dream or Endless Rush strategy :

From my own notes and experiments, I'd like to express the following observations about breaking post-quantum era encryption (aimed at stealing any advanced piece of work, secret or technology being jealously hidden).

Observations about breaking encryption :

The required human time is always greater both for understanding and analysis treatment.
The quantity of information and emitted data is always growing.
The required knowledge to understand this data and information is always greater.
The course is seemingly never-ending.

From the above observations, we can build a ten-folding securing effect between the following parameters and explore an alternative to algorithmic post-quantum encryption (PQC) :

Human factors (treatment and analyzing time)
Numerical or digital factors (stocking, securing, analysis, algorithmic requirements, verifying, energy requirements, etc.).
Expertise required (capacities, education, etc.).

➠ Definition

Through the Endless Rush or Endless Dream strategy no over-securization of information systems is done through post-quantum encryption to protect yourself from "store-now decipher later attacks" — and other attacks related to information-storage.

We bypass hacking concerns by the starting postulate that the battle for post-quantum encryption is already lost somewhere further in time.

Thus, this strategy focuses on the idea that breaking your secrets (information) is requiring :

Forever more human time (for understanding, analysis and treatment) to be deciphered, meaning :
1. Understanding time (through expertise, education, knowledge and studying)
2. Interpreting time (correlating, verifying, understanding and applying or copying)
Forever more machine time to make sense of your information, for :
1. Stocking time (and costs)
2. Securing time
3. Verifying and crossing time
4. Analyzing time (both human and algorithmically, or more).

From this, the strategy is made clear : through a saturation of the human, material and time requirements to make sense of — and understand what — you were doing and were working on, your rival may quickly be surpassed in this race. This property alleviates over securizing needs.

This simple graph shows how the timely rush between the information producer (kind of like a photon) and the stealer (kind of like an information observer) is systematically lost through the Endless Rush.

➠ Counter-proposal

About non equal power spying, like if the USA were spying over Kazakhstan : this kind of knowledge race is unlikely to involve two rivals with such asymmetrical power — because this is a quantum race and spy-able informations from the weakest one may already be included in the stronger actor world's views.

➠ A possible solution with theses postulates

You can refer to this excellent article for more details about the technical part.

Actually here are the options for quantum encryption :

PQC : Post-Quantum Cryptography, pure maths aiming at exploiting quantum computing weakness to ensure quasi-permanent deciphering impossibility.
QKD : Quantum Key Distribution, a physical solution with inticated photons pair as a way to secure a quantum network. If intercepted, the pair collapse and communicated information is lost.

What I propose could be called "Integrated Deciphering Saturation" (IDS), and is characterized by the deliberate saturation and waste of time to decipher the information AND a deliberate saturation and waste of human time to understand the information. This deciphering time-waste and human analyzing time-waste are both part of the strategy — for what you want to waste is adverse time and resources (or saturation). But how ?

It depends on how you encrypt your content
It depends on how you initially write your content (intelligence codes and jargon)
It depends on how you may place honey pot in the files system
It depends on how you may link your files together to ensure both for deciphering AND understanding (example : context order, file deciphering order)

" Le but ce n'est pas la que la machine ne comprenne pas,

mais que l'humain ne comprenne pas.

Here is an example of how you may mix up cyber-security solutions (honey-pots) with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) in a deciphering labyrinth made with these disposable tech-blocks — all while keeping a technical entry level both for deciphering attempts and understanding (jargon, intelligence codes, etc.).

Building a modular iterative chain should be your objective if you want to keep the overall complexity increasing (files' expanding and ramifying through time).

Note : Although seemingly like an iterative block system, this isn't a blockchain.

Here is a bidimensional representation of what IDS system may looks like. You add a dimension (z) to the puzzle and maze through files' expansion and ramifying with time (t).

➠ ELI5

Do your things, if they want to lose time to get yours, it's their problem.

Or, running fast they won't catch you.

Or technically, for two exponential going roughly at the same speed, but one starting later, the rush to get over the first one is lost.
