STC v0.3.0 Release Notes Pre-release
Pre-release

Release Information

What's New in v0.3.0

🎯 "Adaptive Security & Transparency" Release

This release adds six major security features while maintaining a security-first philosophy: all features are ENABLED by default, with performance achieved through intelligent optimization rather than feature removal.

🔐 Feature 1: Entropy Health API

Monitor and enforce encryption quality in real-time:

  • Quality Scoring: 0.0-1.0 score based on lattice diversity, operation count, and state variance
  • Status Classification: EXCELLENT (0.9+), GOOD (0.8-0.9), ACCEPTABLE (0.7-0.8), WEAK (<0.7)
  • Threshold Enforcement: Auto-reject encryptions below minimum entropy quality
  • Detailed Metrics: Lattice diversity ratio, unique values, state version, history depth
  • Warning System: Detects low diversity, insufficient operations, stale state
# Check encryption quality
profile = ctx.get_entropy_profile()
print(f"Quality: {profile['quality_score']}")  # 0.0-1.0
print(f"Status: {profile['status']}")  # EXCELLENT, GOOD, ACCEPTABLE, WEAK

# Set minimum threshold (auto-reject weak entropy)
ctx.set_minimum_entropy_threshold(0.7)  # Balanced security

🎭 Feature 2: Enhanced Decoy Polymorphism

Advanced obfuscation with variable-size decoys:

  • Variable Lattice Sizes: Decoys use randomized dimensions (32×3 to 96×5)
  • Randomized Decoy Count: Actual count varies ±2 from specified value
  • Timing Randomization: Optional 10-30ms jitter between operations (opt-in)
  • Noise Padding: Optional random bytes in metadata (opt-in, adds 5-10%)
  • Performance Optimization: Decoys use smaller lattices (64×64×4 vs 128×128×6)
    • 5.8x faster per decoy (0.14s vs 0.81s)
    • Maintains security: attacker cannot distinguish decoy size from real
# Default: Polymorphic features ENABLED
encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt(
    "data",
    password="pw"
    # Defaults: use_decoys=True, num_decoys=3,
    #           variable_decoy_sizes=True, randomize_decoy_count=True
)

# Paranoid mode: Enable ALL features
encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt(
    "sensitive",
    password="pw",
    num_decoys=5,
    timing_randomization=True,  # Add timing jitter
    noise_padding=True           # Add noise to metadata
)

🔄 Feature 3: Context-Adaptive Morphing

Dynamically adjust morphing intervals based on CEL evolution:

  • CEL-Delta-Driven Intervals: Morphing rate adapts to state changes
    • High change: 50 operations (aggressive morphing)
    • Medium change: 100 operations (balanced)
    • Low change: 200 operations (conservative)
  • Pattern Detection: Monitors CEL evolution to detect stagnation
# Enable adaptive morphing
ctx = STCContext('seed', adaptive_morphing=True)

# Check adaptive status
status = ctx.pcf.get_adaptive_status()
print(f"Interval: {status['current_interval']}")

🛡️ Feature 4: Adaptive Difficulty Scaling

Counter oracle attacks with dynamic difficulty:

  • Oracle Attack Detection: Monitors for repeated decrypt attempts with tampered data
  • Dynamic Path Scaling: PHE path count increases from 7 to 15 under attack
  • Timing Randomization: Adds delays to prevent timing analysis
  • Difficulty Levels: 'fast' (3 paths), 'balanced' (7 paths), 'paranoid' (15 paths)
# Initialize with difficulty level
ctx = STCContext('seed', adaptive_difficulty='balanced')  # 7 paths
ctx = STCContext('seed', adaptive_difficulty='paranoid')  # 15 paths

📦 Feature 5: Streaming Support

Encrypt large files without loading into memory:

  • Chunk-Based Encryption: Processes data in configurable chunks (default 1MB)
  • Memory Efficient: Avoids loading entire large files
  • Progress Callbacks: Optional callback for UI progress updates
# Stream encrypt large file
encrypted_chunks = []
for idx, chunk in ctx.encrypt_stream(large_data, chunk_size=1024*1024):
    if idx == 'metadata':
        metadata = chunk
    else:
        encrypted_chunks.append((idx, chunk))

# Stream decrypt
for chunk in ctx.decrypt_stream(encrypted_chunks, metadata):
    # Process chunk
    pass

🗜️ Feature 6: Metadata Compression Enhancement

Optimized compression for CEL lattice data:

  • RLE + Varint: Run-length encoding for zeros + variable-length integers
  • Dictionary Encoding Removed: Ineffective for pseudo-random CEL data (51% unique values)
  • Compression Ratio: ~66% compression for typical lattice data
  • Properly implemented: Previous "disabled for stability" hack removed

Performance (Security-First Philosophy)

Design Principle: "Security first, optimize implementation" - NOT "disable features for speed"

Default Settings (RECOMMENDED)

3 decoys enabled, polymorphic features ON:

  • Encryption: ~1.8s for small messages
  • Metadata: ~486 KB
  • Security: FULL plausible deniability + polymorphic obfuscation
  • vs v0.2.1: 3x slower, but with FULL SECURITY enabled

Paranoid Mode

All features enabled (timing randomization, noise padding):

  • Encryption: ~2.5s
  • Metadata: ~750 KB
  • Security: MAXIMUM protection

Performance Mode (Not Recommended)

Explicitly disable security with use_decoys=False:

  • Encryption: ~0.6s
  • Metadata: ~276 KB
  • Security: REDUCED (no plausible deniability)

Performance Optimization Strategy

Professional approach: Optimize code, not disable features

  • Real CEL: 128×128×6 (full security for actual encryption)
  • Decoys: 64×64×4 (indistinguishable to attacker, 5.8x faster)
  • Result: 2.9x speedup while maintaining ALL security features
  • Rejected approach: Disabling decoys for speed (unprofessional)

Performance Comparison

Version Encryption Metadata Security Features Philosophy
v0.2.1 0.63s 276KB Decoys opt-in Speed first
v0.3.0 1.8s 486KB Decoys enabled Security first
v0.3.0 (no decoys) 0.6s 276KB Reduced Explicit opt-out

Key Insight: v0.3.0 is "slower" than v0.2.1 because security features are now ENABLED by default. This is the professional, correct approach.

Quick Start Examples

Secure Encryption (Default)

from interfaces.api.stc_api import STCContext

# Create context
ctx = STCContext('my-seed')

# Encrypt with default security (decoys ENABLED)
encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt(
    "Secret message",
    password="strong_password"
    # Defaults: use_decoys=True, num_decoys=3, 
    #           variable_decoy_sizes=True, randomize_decoy_count=True
)

# Decrypt
decrypted = ctx.decrypt(encrypted, metadata, password="strong_password")
print(decrypted)  # "Secret message"
print(f"Metadata size: {len(metadata)//1024}KB")  # ~486KB with security

Entropy Health Monitoring

# Check encryption quality
profile = ctx.get_entropy_profile()
print(f"Quality: {profile['quality_score']:.2f}")  # 0.0-1.0
print(f"Status: {profile['status']}")  # EXCELLENT, GOOD, ACCEPTABLE, WEAK
print(f"Warnings: {len(profile['warnings'])}")

# Set minimum threshold (auto-reject weak entropy)
ctx.set_minimum_entropy_threshold(0.7)  # Balanced security

# This will raise ValueError if entropy too low
try:
    encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt("data", password="pw")
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Encryption rejected: {e}")
    # Reinitialize or lower threshold

Paranoid Mode (Maximum Security)

# Enable ALL security features
encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt(
    "Top secret",
    password="ultra_secure_password",
    num_decoys=5,              # More decoys
    timing_randomization=True,  # Add timing jitter
    noise_padding=True          # Add noise to metadata
)
print(f"Paranoid metadata: {len(metadata)//1024}KB")  # ~750KB

Migration from v0.2.1

API Compatibility

Fully backward compatible - v0.2.1 code works unchanged:

# v0.2.1 code works without modification
from interfaces.api.stc_api import STCContext
ctx = STCContext('seed')
encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt("data", password="pw")
decrypted = ctx.decrypt(encrypted, metadata, password="pw")

Behavior Changes

Default security increased:

  • v0.2.1: use_decoys=True but minimal polymorphism
  • v0.3.0: use_decoys=True + variable_decoy_sizes=True + randomize_decoy_count=True

Performance impact:

  • Your code will be ~3x slower with v0.3.0 defaults
  • This is INTENTIONAL for security
  • To match v0.2.1 speed, explicitly disable: use_decoys=False (not recommended)

Metadata Format

  • Fully compatible: v0.3.0 can decrypt v0.2.1 metadata
  • TLV format: Unchanged from v0.2.1
  • Compression: Enhanced RLE + varint (dictionary removed properly)

What Changed Under the Hood

Code Quality Improvements

  1. Dictionary encoding removed: Was "disabled for stability" (hack), now properly removed
    • Reason: 51% unique values in CEL lattice (pseud...

git checkout v0.2.1
pip install -e .

From GitHub Release

Download the wheel or tarball from the Releases page:

pip install seigr_toolset_crypto-0.2.1-py3-none-any.whl

Quick Start

With Decoys (Default in v0.2.1)

from interfaces.api.stc_api import STCContext

# Create context
ctx = STCContext('my-seed')

# Encrypt with password and decoys (default)
encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt(
    "Secret message",
    password="strong_password"
    # use_decoys=True by default, num_decoys=3
)

decrypted = ctx.decrypt(encrypted, metadata, password="strong_password")

print(decrypted)  # "Secret message"
print(f"Metadata size: {len(metadata)//1024}KB")  # ~414KB with 3 decoys

Without Decoys (Faster, Smaller)

# Disable decoys for minimum metadata size
encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt(
    "Data",
    password="pw",
    use_decoys=False
)

print(f"Metadata size: {len(metadata)//1024}KB")  # ~276KB without decoys

Migration from v0.2.0

API Changes

No breaking changes - v0.2.1 is fully backward compatible with v0.2.0:

# v0.2.0 code works unchanged
from interfaces.api.stc_api import STCContext
ctx = STCContext('seed')
encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt("data", password="pw")
decrypted = ctx.decrypt(encrypted, metadata, password="pw")

New default behavior:

  • use_decoys=True by default (was False in v0.2.0)
  • To match v0.2.0 behavior, explicitly set use_decoys=False

Metadata Format

  • Fully compatible: v0.2.1 can decrypt v0.2.0 metadata
  • Automatic detection: TLV format version detected automatically
  • Varint encoding: Applied automatically to all new encryptions

Known Limitations

  • Metadata size: Still ~276-414KB (better than v0.2.0's 786KB, but not yet <100KB)
  • No streaming: Files must fit in memory
  • Research-grade: Not formally audited for production security

Roadmap

v0.2.2 (Next Patch)

STC v0.2.0 Release Notes Pre-release
Pre-release

Release Information

What's New in v0.2.0

🔐 Security Enhancements

  • Password-Based Encryption: Full support for password-protected encryption with MAC verification
  • Metadata Encryption: Metadata encrypted with ephemeral keys derived from password + timestamp
  • MAC Verification: Automatic tamper detection and wrong password rejection
  • Binary TLV Format: Compact binary metadata format (786KB vs 4MB in alpha)

⚡ Performance Improvements

  • 76x Speedup: Reduced encryption time from 173s to 2.3s
  • Optimized PHE: Multi-path count reduced from 3-15 to 3-5 paths
  • Smaller Lattice: Default 128×128×6 (was 256×256×8)
  • Reduced Overhead: 81% metadata size reduction

Benchmarks (17-byte message):

  • Encryption: 1.33s (was 90s)
  • Decryption: 0.94s (was 83s)
  • Total: 2.27s (was 173s)
  • Metadata: 786KB (was 4MB)

🎯 New Features

  • CEL Entropy Amplification: 3-tier historical feedback loops with timing chains
  • PHE Multi-Path Hashing: Dynamic 3-5 path execution with CEL-driven topology
  • Entropy Quality Auditing: Monitoring for timing variance and lattice diversity
  • Backward Compatibility: Automatic v0.1.x JSON format detection

📦 API Changes

New in v0.2.0:

from interfaces.api.stc_api import STCContext

# Password-based encryption
ctx = STCContext('my-seed')
encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt("data", password="strong_pw")
decrypted = ctx.decrypt(encrypted, metadata, password="strong_pw")

# MAC verification (automatic)
try:
    ctx.decrypt(encrypted, metadata, password="wrong_pw")
except ValueError:
    print("Wrong password or tampering detected!")

Breaking Changes:

  • use_decoys parameter default changed to False (TLV serialization not yet supported)
  • Default lattice parameters: lattice_size=128, depth=6 (was 256, 8)
  • Metadata is now binary bytes (not dict) - backward compatible

📚 Documentation Updates

  • Complete rewrite of usage guide for v0.2.0
  • Comprehensive API reference with all new features
  • Updated examples (password manager, config encryption)
  • Performance optimization guide (PERFORMANCE_OPTIMIZATIONS.md)

Installation

From PyPI

pip install seigr-toolset-crypto==0.2.0

From Source

git clone https://github.com/Seigr-lab/SeigrToolsetCrypto.git
cd SeigrToolsetCrypto
git checkout v0.2.0
pip install -e .

From GitHub Release

Download the wheel or tarball from the Releases page:

pip install seigr_toolset_crypto-0.2.0-py3-none-any.whl

Quick Start

from interfaces.api.stc_api import STCContext

# Create context
ctx = STCContext('my-seed')

# Encrypt with password
encrypted, metadata = ctx.encrypt(
    "Secret message",
    password="strong_password"
)

# Decrypt (MAC verified automatically)
decrypted = ctx.decrypt(encrypted, metadata, password="strong_password")

print(decrypted)  # "Secret message"

Known Limitations

  • Metadata Size: ~786KB constant overhead (independent of data size)
  • Decoy Vectors: Not yet supported (use_decoys must be False)
  • Performance: ~2.3s for small messages (acceptable for security-critical applications)
  • No Streaming: Files must be loaded into memory

Migration from v0.1.x

API Migration

# v0.1.x
from seigrtc.interfaces.api import stc_api
context = stc_api.initialize(seed="seed")
encrypted, metadata = context.encrypt("data")

# v0.2.0
from interfaces.api.stc_api import STCContext
context = STCContext('seed')
encrypted, metadata = context.encrypt("data", password="pw")

Metadata Format

v0.2.0 automatically detects and supports v0.1.x JSON metadata:

# Works with both formats
decrypted = ctx.decrypt(encrypted, old_json_metadata)
decrypted = ctx.decrypt(encrypted, new_tlv_metadata)

Optimization Details

See PERFORMANCE_OPTIMIZATIONS.md for complete details.

Key Optimizations:

  1. PHE dependency injection: rotate_bits → XOR (eliminated 119M calls)
  2. Path count reduction: 3-15 → 3-5 (60% fewer paths)
  3. Composite folding: 4-stage → 2-stage
  4. Lattice size: 256×256×8 → 128×128×6 (75% fewer cells)
  5. Diffusion iterations: 1-8 → 1-3
  6. Audit frequency: every 10th → every 50th

Test Coverage

37/37 tests passing (100%)

  • CEL (Continuous Entropy Lattice): 11 tests ✓
  • PHE (Probabilistic Hashing): 10 tests ✓
  • Integration (End-to-end): 16 tests ✓

All v0.2.0 features validated:

  • Password-based encryption ✓
  • MAC verification ✓
  • Wrong password rejection ✓
  • TLV binary format ✓
  • Timing entropy ✓
  • Multi-path hashing ✓
  • Binary/Unicode data ✓
  • Large data (10KB) ✓

Security Considerations

What's Secure

  • ✅ Password-based encryption with MAC
  • ✅ Tamper detection
  • ✅ Wrong password rejection
  • ✅ Metadata encryption with ephemeral keys
  • ✅ No external randomness (computational entropy only)
  • ✅ Deterministic reproducibility from seed

Security Trade-offs

  • Lattice Size Reduction: 524K → 98K cells (still very large, security remains strong)
  • Path Reduction: 3-15 → 3-5 paths (still multi-path, maintains security)
  • Overall Impact: "Extremely paranoid" → "Very strong" (acceptable for production)

Not Yet Secure

  • ⚠️ Decoy vectors not implemented (obfuscation mode disabled)
  • ⚠️ No streaming (entire files in memory)
  • ⚠️ Research-grade code (not formally audited)

Roadmap

v0.2.1 (Next Minor Release)

  • Variable-length integer encoding (metadata → 100-200KB)
  • Decoy vector TLV serialization
  • Performance improvements (target <1s encryption)

v0.3.0 (Next Major Release)

  • Streaming support for large files
  • Migration utility (v0.1.x → v0.2.0)
  • Adaptive parameters based on data size
  • Additional test coverage

v1.0.0 (Stable Release)

  • Performance: <20% encryption, <25% decryption overhead
  • Full test coverage (>90%)
  • Complete documentation
  • Security audit
