Cipher Channels Explained
Cipher Channel Format Guide
A Cipher Channel is the encryption blueprint used by Cipher to apply polymorphic substitution. It is a two-part code, divided by a hyphen:
[STRUCTURE]-[ENTROPY]To be valid, a Cipher Channel must strictly follow these rules:
Step 1: Define the Structure
Use 6 to 20 digits.
Each digit must be between 1 and 9.
Each digit represents one encryption layer and the number of entropy characters it requires.
Example Structure:
645456Defines 6 layers of substitution.
Each digit indicates the number of characters required per layer.
Total characters required = 6 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 30.
Step 2: Add the Entropy
Provide exactly the number of characters indicated by the sum of the structure digits.
Use any printable character, including symbols, emojis, and alphabets.
Do not use a hyphen (-).
Example Entropy:
A6#d@🎯Ze9J🤖🍕X0*!~🙃1K7Qé+ù%The string must be precisely 30 characters long in the example above.
The emojis count as two characters.
Step 3: Combine Both Parts
Join both parts with a hyphen (-).
Full Example:
645456-A6#d@🎯Ze9J🤖🍕X0*!~🙃1K7Qé+ù%Rejection Criteria
A channel is rejected if it has:
Less than 6 or more than 20 digits before the hyphen.
Characters outside 1-9 in the structure.
Entropy length not matching the required total.
A hyphen inside the entropy.
