Abstract

Encryption is a fundamental building block for computer and communications technologies. Existing encryption methods depend for their security on unproven assumptions. We propose a new model, the Limited Access model for enabling a simple and practical provably unbreakable encryption scheme. A voluntary network of tens of thousands of computers each maintain and update random pages, and act as Page Server Nodes. A Sender and Receiver share a random key K. They use K to randomly select the same PSNs and download the same random pages. These are employed in groups of say 30 pages to extract One Time Pads common to S and R. Under reasonable assumptions of an Adversary's inability to monitor all PSNs, and easy ways for S and R to evade monitoring while downloading pages, Hyper Encryption is clearly unbreakable. The system has been completely implemented.
