WaveLock: A Curvature-Locked One-Way Function Based on Nonlinear PDE Evolution
Abstract
WaveLock explores whether nonlinear PDE evolution and path-dependent curvature commitments can support useful one-way behavior. The current work is an experimental cryptographic research artifact with adversarial tests, prototype signatures and ledger components, and explicit unresolved security proof obligations; it is not production cryptography.
Plain-language overview
Research question
Can nonlinear PDE evolution and path-dependent curvature commitments support useful one-way (cryptographic) behavior?
Main contribution
- Explores a curvature-locked one-way function based on nonlinear PDE evolution.
- Provides adversarial tests and prototype signature and ledger components.
Evidence type
Current limitations
This is an experimental research prototype with explicit unresolved security proof obligations; it is not production cryptography.

Open obligations
- Publish a frozen threat model, attack matrix, security reductions or explicit absence thereof, benchmark methodology, and independent cryptanalysis.
