Resistance to Brute Force Attacks

Cipher's Encryption Stack

Cipher's encryption stack is engineered to scale far beyond conventional cryptographic entropy. Its design relies on a polymorphic substitution cascade introducing a radically different model of brute force resistance.

Structured Channel

Each Cipher password — known as a structured channel — includes up to 20 polymorphic substitution layers. Each is defined by a 9-digit segment made up of any character found on a modern keyboard (excluding the hyphen). Each 9-digit segment can yield up to 573 trillion (5.73 × 10¹⁴) possible permutations.

Entropy

When stacked in a sequence of 20 layers, Cipher achieves a total entropy of approximately:

• 10^295.17 combinations

Comparisons

• AES-256 encryption has a keyspace of 2^256 ≈ 10^77.06 combinations.

• Bitcoin’s elliptic curve keyspace (ECDSA-256) also yields 10^77.06 combinations.

In pure combinatorial terms, Cipher’s polymorphic stack offers a brute force space over 10^218 times larger than AES or Bitcoin keyspaces. Put differently: on a visual scale where Bitcoin or AES appears as a single pixel, Cipher’s space would be the observable universe.

Exponential Security

This exponential security comes not from key length alone, but from the compound depth of independent and ordered transformations. Each incorrect layer, guessed or forced, leads to a completely different output — statistically indistinguishable from noise — providing no feedback, clues, or detectable error state. Each permutation is cryptographically isolated and stacked, creating a deterministic yet untraceable labyrinth.

User-Defined Entropy

Cipher’s combinatorial explosion is user-defined. The entropy space scales with the password structure: longer, deeper channel layers mean exponentially greater resistance. This makes brute force efforts not just infeasible with current technology — but combinatorially meaningless.
