Aether is a high-performance cryptographic ecosystem combining non-linear chaos theory with modern security standards. It uses a Rust-optimized Rössler attractor core and hybrid quantum seeding (ANU QRNG + OS fallback).
Performance: Up to 26x faster than pure Python chaotic PRNGs, with latency ~0.38 µs/byte.
| Metric | Result | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Speedup (vs legacy Py) | 26x+ | Rust integration |
| Latency (per byte) | ~0.38 µs | Ultra-fast real-time streams |
| Min-Entropy | ~7.80 bits/byte | NIST SP 800-90B compliant |
| NIST SP 800-22 | All PASSED | Full statistical suite passed |
| Encryption | AES-256-GCM | Military-grade via AetherVault |
- Live Chaos Stream: Real-time 3D visualization of the Rössler attractor.
- Entropy Lab: Shannon entropy scoring and bit distribution analysis.
- Secure Vault: Fast file encryption with chaotic keys and IVs.
- Stegano Hideout: Hide secrets in PNG images via LSB steganography.
- Rust Core (
AetherCore): Dual Rössler attractors, Euler integration. - Python Layer (
NIHDE): HMAC-DRBG conditioning, health checks, quantum seeding. - GUI: Modern dark theme with CustomTkinter.
