Invention:
This invention addresses the need for robust data security in the face of emerging quantum computing risks and presents logical phi-bits as a promising solution for encryption in the digital age. This cryptography method uses logical phi-bits, which are classical analogues of quantum bits (qubits) and are supported by driven acoustic metamaterials. The state of phi-bits displays superpositions similar to quantum bits, with complex amplitudes and phases. This can strengthen data security at speeds and scales comparable to quantum information modalities without suffering from the fragility inherent in quantum systems. By changing the driving conditions of the metamaterial, the information can be encrypted with exceptional security and efficiency. The scalability of the system provides robust data security with encryption processing time remaining constant regardless of the number of phi-bits used.
Background:
Cryptography is crucial in protecting sensitive information and ensuring secure transactions in a time when data security and privacy are major concerns. Traditional cryptography techniques, which depend on mathematical algorithms and secret keys, have historically protected against data breaches and illegal access. However, the practical implementation of quantum systems is often hampered by their fragility and the complexity of maintaining quantum coherence. Phi-bits, unlike traditional bits, can exist in superpositions of states, characterized by complex amplitudes and phases. They provide a compelling alternative by leveraging acoustic metamaterials to achieve superposition states without the fragility of quantum systems. Acoustic metamaterials are engineered structures designed to control and manipulate sound waves in novel ways, enabling the creation of stable and controllable phi-bits. By exploiting these properties, the invention offers a method of encryption that combines the security benefits of quantum systems with the robustness and scalability of classical systems.
