Security Considerations
Milestones to the Final Triple Function Hash-MAC/Stream Cipher/TRNG Security related issues are dealt with in the following chapters and appendices: If you understand 4 simple tenets, here are 19 good reasons to adopt the ZK-Crypt. Bard shows that because of disparate inputs into each binary variable state, cryptocomplexity is "computer boggling; if you think that you know 414 chaining binary value digits, but one bit is wrong, you lose on the next round". Non-linearity in algorithms? Find out why non-linears ruin statistics and why we use them. Combinations of non-linear words with strong internal correlation and coloured random numbers generate good numbers for decorrelation filters. If one feedback stream is a linear function of the Present Message and the second FB stream is a linear function of the Present and Previous Messages, they are orthogonal. If it's not obvious, the proof will put you to sleep. See Appendix 2. Spare 19K gates and you can simultaneously decrypt and authenticate your encrypted boot. If 64 bit peers communicate, paralleled engines double speed and exponentially increase security, with same energy/processed bit. The 64 bit counter places each Message word in it's "right place" and salts both streams with uncorrelated pseudo random numbers. We show how repeated words detect bias, correlation and distinguishing features A handbook for the TRNG designers to check out design parameters in the Fortress GB Noise Generator and describes our hardware monitor. The designers claim that the engine has no end effects, no distinguishing features, no trojan horses and can have no trapdoor. The ZK-Crypt's Random Controller and Engine have been fine combed for weak spots in preparation for proprietary tests. In a single track FB ZK-Crypt where Messages encode into a Previous and Present Result Feedback, the output is provably safe. In a dual track FB ZK-Crypt where Messages encode into a Previous and Present Feedback in one stream, and also encode a Present Result in the second Feedback stream, the output is provablt orthogonal and provably precludes Message Modification. A study of a previous version of ZK-Crypt showed that for a naive initial value configuration. tje Random Controller could only be completely functional for 16 clock cycles. With the new wake-up configuration, all components are immediately proactive.
The results of Multipermutation with Hybrid Filters leads to diffusion of a single bit from a Message into 200 bits in the Word Manipulator. This appendix graphically shows how diffusion grows as a bit affects at least 144 bits in one round of a smaller design.
