Abstract

WaveLock explores whether nonlinear PDE evolution and path-dependent curvature commitments can support useful one-way behavior. The current work includes adversarial tests, prototype signatures and ledger components, and a documented security-proof program.

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

Conceptual architectureNumerical simulation

Current limitations

Evaluation includes explicit proof obligations, adversarial tests, implementation audits, and prototype-level security analysis.

Explicit falsifiers

  • A practical inversion, collision, forgery, state-recovery, or parameter-reduction attack defeats the declared security target.

Open obligations

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