Show HN: Ariadne – A Rust implementation of aperiodic cryptography
The canonical Rust implementation of the Ariadne Protocol, a novel cryptographic architecture for aperiodic, stateful transformations originated by CipherNomad.
A Cryptographic Virtual Machine (CVM) determines the next turn (left or right) in the Labyrinth by computing a keyed hash of its own secret state and the public ciphertext chunk. Aperiodic by Design The Ariadne Protocol is a fundamental departure from conventional, periodic ciphers that apply the exact same sequence of operations to every block of data. The CVM's internal state will irrevocably diverge from the legitimate path, and all subsequent data will be processed into non-meaningful, pseudorandom noise.
