Comparison to Classical Encryption Methods

Cipher Encryption: A Paradigm Shift

Cipher fundamentally departs from the architecture and assumptions of classical encryption protocols. The following comparison highlights the key structural and operational differences that define Cipher’s paradigm shift.

Aspect	Traditional Encryption (AES, RSA, etc.)	Cipher Encryption
Encryption Layer	Single deterministic cipher applied once	Up to 20 polymorphic substitution layers per encryption
Key Usage	One static key or key pair	Independent key per layer and per channel
Structure Preservation	Retains format or entropy of input data	Fully destroys structure, entropy, and predictability at each layer
Decryption Feedback	Errors or success feedback during decryption	All outcomes are indistinguishable; wrong keys produce irrecoverable noise
Server Dependency	Often requires key exchange, metadata retention, or verification	Fully local, serverless, metadata-free
Brute-force Resistance	Depends on key length and cipher complexity	Exponential protection via cascade of hundreds of trillions of states
Backdoor Potential	Trust model includes possible compromise of central authorities	No authority, no storage, no server—no backdoor possible
Quantum Resistance	Requires algorithmic adaptation (e.g., lattice-based encryption)	Algorithm-agnostic—acts as an entropy shell for any cipher
Application Flexibility	Tailored for secure transport or storage	Built for live, local, serverless encryption of any content or context

Cipher is not designed to compete with classical ciphers—it is designed to replace their operational assumptions. It is not an encryption algorithm; it is an encryption environment.
