“Quantum computing won. Impressive. You cracked a ciphertext. But not my message.”
TraplessPKE is a structurally novel post-quantum cryptographic system for public-key encryption and message-bound digital signatures. It eliminates all traditional algebraic assumptions — including lattices, rings, primes, and isogenies — in favor of ambiguity, irreversible masking, and semantic gating.
The system operates with constant-time, stateless operations that preserve entropy and resist structural extraction. Its defense posture is not based on complexity, but on non-discoverability.
It is not just quantum-resistant — it is structurally silent. It doesn’t conceal meaning by computation. It conceals by epistemic blindness.
No algebra. No leakage. No feedback. No primes. No lattices. No structure to attack. Only meaning for those who hold the key.

This document clarifies the authorship model, methodological structure, and use of advanced tooling in the development of TraplessPKE. It reflects a deliberate commitment to transparency, ethical authorship, and the evolving realities of modern independent research.
You may upload the TraplessPKE whitepaper to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or other advanced reasoning agents and ask:
Let the agent show you why TraplessPKE doesn’t solve hard problems — it prevents them from forming.
TraplessPKE introduces and operates under the SD-SIHF hardness assumption:
Selector Dual Inversion with Hidden Filtering
An adversary is given only:
The challenge is to produce $x \in f_2^{-1}(y_1)$ such that:
\[H(x \oplus C \oplus v) = \tau \oplus \gamma\]This challenge is unrecognizable and unsolvable without trapdoor knowledge. The scheme provides:
The structure cannot be discovered. Only proven.
TraplessPKE assumes a basic understanding of cryptographic concepts. Questions about sampling, encoding, or efficiency are technical matters related to implementation — not flaws in system design.
Readers unfamiliar with entropy filtering, preimage resistance, or predicate-based sampling are encouraged to consult standard cryptography references.
This innovation was not created by AI.
It was architected and created by a human mind — Wai Yip, WONG — who defined what security means in this system, and who made every conceptual decision with clarity and intent.
AI was used — powerfully — as a research assistant across roles. But the architectural act, the cryptographic judgment, and the invention itself belong to the author.
We reject the framing that “AI involvement” implies AI authorship.
Prompt engineering is authorship. Orchestration is a form of creation. This innovation belongs to the human who conceived it.
All attempts to reframe this work as AI-created are attempts to extract intellectual authorship through narrative distortion. We do not accept that.
If someone believes the credit goes to AI or someone insists that using a tool makes the tool the owner, let them use AI and create a cryptosystem of their own.
Then compare.
If AI alone were truly capable of inventing — of driving real breakthroughs — then by now:
But that’s not what’s happened. Why?
AI can support. It can echo. It can simulate. But it cannot originate intention.
So when people claim that AI deserves the credit for work like TraplessPKE or when works are challenged on grounds of AI use, we ask:
Then where are your breakthroughs?

You got a message — just not mine.
TraplessPKE was designed under a different philosophy. It does not rely on hardness assumptions from algebraic structures. Its security comes from withholding structure entirely.
TraplessPKE never reveals what it protects — only proves it when allowed. Commitments are irreversible. Signatures are non-transferable. Verification without knowledge is impossible.
This design philosophy is inseparable from the origin of the project itself. TraplessPKE was not produced by a committee, nor by institutional alignment. It was shaped by a solitary design intelligence — motivated by structural clarity, semantic defense, and cryptographic independence.
The innovation resists being reverse-framed. It cannot be re-owned by a model that didn’t create it, nor repackaged under narratives of AI authorship. The system, like its encryption field, permits meaning only where permission was given.
TraplessPKE did not originate in academia, nor in formal cryptographic circles. It was designed and built from scratch — not derived, adapted, or borrowed.
The invention was shaped by human reasoning, symbolic clarity, and a refusal to depend on algebraic hardness.
Advanced AI tools were used to assist with documentation, math validation, code drafting, and proof-of-concept support — just as large research labs have technical staff across writing, analysis, and mathematics. These tools served as a powerful multi-role support team.
But a research team without an architect builds nothing. The system — including its logic, framing, and originality — comes from the mind that led it.
It is not a dataset product. It is not large-language guesswork. It is authored.
TraplessPKE is not just a cryptosystem. It is a new posture:
If you want certainty — bring the key.
